We ventured further north today in our pursuit of grouse. It did not reveal more birds. Until it did. We got into them in the last hour and a half of the hunt. I think my partner and I had 12 flushes between 4pm and 5:30pm. I didn’t shoot well but still managed to kill 2, maybe 3 grouse and two woodcock. There was a grouse kill that my partner and I could not tell which one of us killed.
A happy grouse hunter.
We thought we spotted a wolf today but further intelligence and visuals revealed they were dogs living next to the reservation. That led to a lot of laughs.
And we got a nice fire going for a field lunch of hot chili that my buddy made, only to find out that we forgot the bag with the bowls, spoons etc. So we went to town to have an over cooked hamburger. And the. My buddy found the bag with all the stuff we needed in back of the truck hours later. Doh!

And the bird ninja made an appearance today. I found this thing in the parking lot of the Clam Lake Junction a few years back and hid it in a buddy’s bird vest. He found it and a year later he hid it in my old carhartt coat and I found it while at MSP last year returning from this trip. I found it in the same coat this afternoon and it made its way into my partner’s vest. It’ll take a ride with some else tomorrow.
