Harold, thanks for posting. I made a short trip up to the Northern Lower for opening day (9/15). Same story there. Morning temp was 46 but by 11:30 it was mid 70’s and 80 by 1:30. Rosey pointed four grouse and I flushed two and never saw a feather! Thick is an understatement. Going to give it a whirl later this week. Temps still warmer than I’d like to see.

Brett, I had thought about hunting the Northern lower, would sure be alot closer, but I havent hunted it before, and conditions would make it very difficult to scout/find covers in unfamiliar territory. I may try it late season.

Harold, we used to always make the MN opener about the middle of September. As I go older, I could not take the heat, or at least, I no longer wanted to hunt in those conditions. Still, I miss the early hunts, and will enjoy them vicariously thanks to your posts.
I hope to see more reports!
