I got a grouse today right at the start of the hunt. Another year has slowed Fritz down, but it has positively affected his grouse hunting skills. He now is more deliberate on his locating and tracking skills. When he catches bird scent he locks-up and waits for me to get up to him. Then if the bird has moved off he begins a slow and careful process of re-locating the restless bird. My shooting was not good again today and my 28 gauge jammed beyond field repair!
I did bow hunt this evening over a new clear cut that is located behind the cabin. The deer have definitely been using the area, but they were a no show tonight.
