So, when does your grouse season end? I miss the Appalachian February seasons.

Last day of February, this year it's the 29 th. Bad weather here right now so yesterday was most likely my last day.

Rick, you and I both! I was recently looking over my shooting journal for the 90s and was struck by how many grouse we flushed in SE Ohio — many 25-30 flush days. Long gone now.
James, treasure your February hunts.

Believe me I do treasure all of my grouse hunting, it seems to get worse each year. Places I used to have 20 plus flushes a day now have no birds. Places I hunt now have very few birds. Plus my hunting buddy and I are in our mid 70's.

The weather has been good for it. It makes me wonder why I have not gotten out again.
