A few months ago, when my hunting schedule for this fall came together, I realized I may have the opportunity to kill a single season grouse slam this year.

Made it to Grouse Camp late last night. Headed out shortly. Definitely warmer is the forecast than expected or hoped but we’ll make do. Supposed to cool down nicely next week but the next two days are gonna be low 70s.
It’s that time of year again. I’m leaving this afternoon for our annual Grouse Camp. I’m flying outta the local airport, through Denver and into Minneapolis. I should be in camp by late tonight. A group of us have done this hunt together since 2020. Past years have always been in Northern WI...
