My first grouse hunt in Watauga county with my GSP Jake, and we were hunting an old apple orchard. Jake was in his prime, but had never seen or smelled a grouse until that day. He pointed two and bumped one up. Browning Sweet 16 and high brass number 6's worked.

Hat trick on our first grouse hunt. My boy ate very well that night.

Wish I could pull a few more briers out of his old ears.
