In reading a book, it was stated that MN is the top grouse state in the union. The birds have really died out in the Appalachian region, and New England has had a big drop in numbers as well. It made me feel like I should try it next fall. I think I’m gonna camp up by grand rapids and give it a go around 3rd week of season. I hope to bring the golden with if she’s feeling up to it. I realize people say it’s easier to get one without a dog, but it’d be nice to share the experience with the dog who taught me how to hunt. Hopefully I can find some areas where we don’t get harassed by lazy hunters driving around on 4 wheelers. I’m not gonna shoot one on the ground or out of a tree I know that. Either way should be a fun trip, and if we bag our first ruffle that’s just icing on the cake.
