I spent the weekend in the woods, the squirrel shooting was fine but saw hide nor feather of a grouse. I did miss a pair of wood ducks.....

DLH, last Tuesday night I walked into my tree stand and kicked-up close to 40-woodies. Would have been nice to have a 20-ga Parker instead of a bow.

There are days I prefer hunting alone and those when I welcome the company of an old friend. Regardless, my entire disposition and ouook toward life is much better when I have spent a day in the grouse woods.
When I was a kid we could hunt quail Oct through the end of February. One could hunt at a leisurely pace and not feel compelled to hunt every weekend or would miss out. Of course it was a lot easier when all I had to do was grab my vest and my Wingmaster and walk across the road. No 3-hour rides to get to cover. |

I never feel "alone" when I hunt by myself. That's how I began and, coming from a family of non-hunters (I didn't say anti-hunters) I was out there by myself (quite enjoying myself and all that nature had to teach me) most of the time until I was in my late thirties or early forties. I don't hunt with a dog these days so two or three guns in the grouse covers with you will always produce more flushes per mile. For me, these days, upland hunting is just more enjoyable for several reasons with a companion or two.

I highly recommend doing just that. Living a simpler life - shucking off so many burdens that only serve to complicate your life - Make time for those things you enjoy most! Hunting, fishing, time spent with the wife and family, dogs, the beauty of nature.... These are the truly important things in life. Enjoy them now before time runs out.
