I love the color variations of the northern grouse. These were taken on a staggered flush, the gray hen first, followed by the brown cockbird.

Stopped in to see COB{ Rich Anderson ) at his hunting cabin in Channing today, it was his 70th birthday and looking good. He is heading back home in the am. It is now hot and dry up here, unlike the snow of 10 days ago, but still finding good numbers of birds. Wearing down, but still getting out there all day, cause there is no longer any grouse season back home.

Harold, you must be in “hog heaven.” Enjoy every moment, but know it’s okay to take a break for you and/or the pups. Are you keeping flush counts?

Trying to get in the woods early, over 60 by 11:00 today. Fancy on point before I even had the gun out of its case, walked over and shot it for her. 12 more grouse flushes there, plus 5 wc, which are now out of season.
Ran into old friend Frank Jezioro, fellow West Virginian, and cont. editor of Pointing Dog Journal, it was too hot to hunt so we sat in the shade and talked a while. At 3:00, put Willie down, moved 12 birds and she pointed 8, I took 1 more. Willie looks like a million bucks on point, and is a very good dog, but a weak retriever.
