Vermont 2010

[Dean Romig]

It was a special treat to watch Danny knock down his first bird there in Vermont. Those rascally little "russet fellers" just seemed to be everywhere on that high hillside cover and they weren't very accomodating in presenting easy shots so Congratulations to you Danny!

Dave kicked up that old horseshoe early in our Saturday morning hunt (a relic from the days when the whole area was tilled fields, hayfields and pastureland and a tractor was an oddity in a state where horses did the heavy pulling. He carried that horse shoe believing it would bring him luck and as luck would have it - he was the only one to kill a pa'tridge that morning.

I've read the words of several "experts" who have written that a grouse will not eat a yellow apple but here's proof that they will indeed eat yellow apples and make quite a meal of them at that.
