Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game 2017 Upland Hunts

Daughters turn to go to in-laws for Thanksgiving, so rather than be the odd duck at another family Thanksgiving, Merlot and I went Grouse hunting and combined it with some Deer observation for come Monday. In 3.5hours put up 4 Birds and said one coming home is enough.




Merlot took it out of the tangle behind him and it came out a low left to right. Flopping, so as usual with Merlot the rudder is gone.

Crossing this field on the way back to the truck and I let Merlot run without paying attention. Until that is, I hear wings beating under an Alder bush out in the field. He takes the Bird out and it flies out in the open for 100yards plus a little.






Perfect weather to hunt Grouse. Saw Deer in the high teens. Two Bucks and one would be good enough to take the safety off.


Good day!!!!
