A Boy's Indoctrination to Grouse Camp

[Dean Romig]

I brought my 7 year old grandson to Grouse Camp in Vermont this weekend.
I wanted to make sure he didn't get turned off by too much rigorous brush bustin' so I took him to some of the easier places that I knew might hold some grouse.
We were out for four hours in the morning and went back out after lunch for another hour and a half. each time I suggested we go back to camp he told me he didn't want to go back but that he wanted to keep on hunting.
We moved 9 grouse in those 5+ hours but only saw 1.5 of them and never got a shot off.
He told me he wants to go back to grouse camp "every time you go Grampy."
