RUFFED GROUSE - TWO COVEYS TODAY

I was heading towards the kennel this morning and was again surprised by that thunderous roar that stirs our blood. Another.. ... then another.... six altogether. Good to see birds around the house after last years disastrous season. We went fishing this afternoon and spotted a young grouse on the roadside. We stopped and I saw the hen, all worked up and clucking, and several chicks in the ferns. Must have been a half dozen. This year sure looks far better than last, which was worst in thirty years.
