That looks like some very tough land to hunt. Is it rocky under foot?

Yeah it is,the pictures don't really capture it ...what looks like even ground is 6 to 12 inches of moss,covering rocks and rotten dead fall,the actual dead fall is something you have to swing a leg over ...and over to get through or find a way walk around ,and everything is damp to over your boots wet ...it used to be easier,but never easy - most people here avoid it like the plauge,but the grouse like it so I keep going!

Great pics Chris! I like the shed. I didn't know you had those in your area. Well seeing this makes me want to get out for quail this weekend. Just opened here Friday, but just too hot! Saturday is looking like a small chance of rain and upper 70s. I'll post pics for you if successful!
Chris, AZ |

That’s some birdy looking cover! Thanks for sharing your hunt.

Dogless just isn't the same anymore is it Chris...?
This is my first season without Gracie and it kinda sucks... I carry her bell with me and her whistle on the braided leather lanyard you made for me many years ago. She was a puppy when you first sent the lanyard but through my carelessness she chewed it up and you sent me a replacement. I always used it whenever Gracie was outdoors with me and though it has a 'sweat and grime' (patina) polish to it it's still whole. I blew the whistle a few times on the first of our '24 VT grouse season just to reminisce and possibly summon her spirit... but then my vision got a little cloudy and I've gotta see those grouse when they flush... Thanks Chris   .
