I have done pretty poorly in the Catskills this year.

In addition to recos, I was also interested in prospects of finding grouse so very helpful.
Regarding our trip to Malone, limited on woodcock on Day 1 and flushed three grouse when we went further into habitat in the afternoon. On our second day, we were rained out with a day-long downpour which was meant to be a grouse day. |

So far this year grouse and woodcock hunting in the Catskills has been very disappointing. I keep trying different locations with the same poor results.

A update, my hunting partner and I went grouse hunting today in the Catskills and had zero flushes. Sad

As a registered hunting guide I know most guides will not take local clients. This as a common practice among guides . Me also

Steve, please explain your statement "as a registered hunting(?) guide most will not take local hunters to guide." What the heck does that mean exactly??? Why shouldn't "local" hunters expect a quality guided hunt? Dean .

I believe I understand that, my guess would be because the local guide doesn’t want his hard worked for coverts ruined with other locals.
