Here Comes Opener!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let’s get excited here folks. Small game opens this weekend. Namely GROUSE. I’m ready. Hope it’s not hot like this last weekend!! My goal is to get at least 2 this weekend. That’s just enough for my wife and I to eat dinner. Half the fun is bringing them home to my wife as she loves eating Grouse as much as me. I’m expanding my territory this year by finding new spots near the cabin I got this summer. Finding all new land is daunting but I have found it. Now I have to weed out the bad spots. My strategy is clear this weekend. SInce it has been super dry in my area all summer I will be focusing on streams and swamps. Good cover near water. Debating on whether or not to take my dog out. I’v always been more of a solitary grouse hunter and do very well that way. Anybody else out there going this weekend?

It does??? I thought it was the bowhunting opener I have a hard time thinking about grouse hunting when I know I am going to be bowhunting

Bowhunting?

I’m not going, but like you I love to hunt alone with my dog. There’s nothing more challenging or rewarding than that for me. Much more satisfying for me than army-style bird hunting.

Yeah thats a tough call, I think with the numbers down a good dog will be helpfull, but I go out alone often also.

Good Luck

Friendly reminder that Woodcock don’t open until 9/24. I just found this out and was shocked. They usually start before Grouse. I don’t shoot them anyways so that’s why I didn’t check.

The hunters in Michigan are enjoying opener today. 2 more days for us. Temps are liveable for walking the woods. Especially in the morning.

Yea. Grouse is number one with me. I’d like to get another sumo grouse for mounting this year. I have 2 at home but 1 for the cabin would be nice.
