Grouse season opens in New York

[James L. Martin]

Got the first grouse of the year with a VH16 in upstate New York.

James, you're off to a great start to your season. I hope the rest is as good.

Well I'm UPSTATE and the grouse season isn't open yet, so you must be UPUPUPSTATE, please pay attention to geography! : ) I won't ask where but have a friend who is up there.

years ago I remember someone explaining it (this was in the Finger Lakes) they said - upstate starts one county east and south of where you are

Andy, I have lived in New York most of my life ,have never heard of UPUPUPSTATE ! I do not need a geography lesson. Trust me I know where and when grouse season opens.

Was a joke

Had my GSPs out today for what I thought was just a run. The puppy got into two birds. I couldn't believe it! I have not seen a grouse on my property (SWNYS)in years.

I talked to a friend who has a place in Maine and he was heading out this afternoon. This is something I want to try one day

And all this time, I thought it was just NYC and the Upstate . . .

Pretty much Mills, that was my comments intent. Its' upstate everywhere but that's NORTH COUNTRY to us where grouse is already open. In any event, north of NYC and West of Albany we tend to be more normal (with the exception of Ithaca)
