VT Grouse Hunting Update: 10/31
Filed in: 2011 Upland Bird Hunting | Rudy written by: bs
Good thing Paul only comes up once a year ... because I would need to find a lot more coverts to take people to if he was up here any longer. His shooting was “on” this weekend, to say the least, as he harvested 6 grouse and 2 woodcock out of the 52 birds we moved in two and one half days of hunting together.

NH & VT Grouse Hunting Update: 10/29

Lots of great hunting the last two days. Sunny and cold both days, but good for moving birds around, and also good scenting for dogs and walking for us. It’s been a lot of fun, and we wish all of our days were like this.

What distinguishes this group from all others is that they are dedicated connoisseurs of the 28 gauge, and after hunting with them now for a few years, I can attest to this gun’s ability.
