Not hunting these birds yet, but...

That’s great Mike,

I’ve never observed Mr Ruff going about life in the wild, interesting

A few years ago, I was driving in on Morris Baker's driveway when I saw a young setter that I recognized as Morris's puppy project. The pup was pointing very steady, but I didn't see anyone around. I got out of the truck to take the escapee back to his kennel. As I walked up on the point, five, yes five, grouse flushed. I'm not going to say that the pup held point, but I didn't care. I called the pup to the truck but he ran home on his own. Morris didn't seem surprised.

A few years ago I was spring turkey hunting here in NH on Boy Scout reservation land when a grouse started to follow me down a toat road. That bird followed me for a half a mile making cooing noises all the way. Really weird.

I’m guessing Morris won’t need to take those long trips to the upper midwest for grouse this year.
