Winter ruffed grouse hunting in NH
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 12/31/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting | Bode written by: bs
Sadly, the grouse hunting season has come to an end here in New Hampshire (and Vermont), but yesterday we were able to get in one last session to cap off our season. It was my first time hunting in several weeks as the holidays and work have made it tough to get out there lately.

Grouse hunting with Jo Ann Moody
The Annual Trip "Down East"
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting written by: bs
It was that time of the year again, my annual hunting adventure with Jo-Ann Moody and her excellently trained springer spaniels in Belfast, Maine, and it certainly did not disappoint. Along with me again was client and friend Paul O'Neill, who invited me on this excursion for the first time six years ago, and the trip to Belfast is eagerly anticipated by us each season.

NH Grouse Hunting Update: 11/20/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty | Bode written by: bs
Finally, a beautiful day here in New Hampshire's north country. Still cold, but at least it was sunny, and good scenting conditions for the dogs. While it is technically deer hunting season, it's not too busy around here this week (we did see a few trucks parked on the side of logging roads), and we had no problem finding some open and safe areas in which to hunt.

VT Grouse Hunting Update: 11/10/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting written by: bs
More wild weather this weekend in northern New Hampshire and Vermont, with a few breaks in between, meant that we had our work cut out for us to find grouse.

Monty points a NH ruffed grouse
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 11/8/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty written by: bs
Less than stellar weather conditions in Pittsburg, New Hampshire's grouse woods over the last two days. Yesterday was really tough - driving wind and rain in the morning, with gradual clearing by the afternoon, and the high for today was right around 32 degrees, but it felt much colder with the gusty northwest wind that we were hunting in to most of the day.

Northern NH scenery
NH Grouse & Woodcock Hunting Update: 10/27/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty written by: bs
The weather remained cold in northern NH this weekend, which seemed to fuel the flights of migrating woodcock and the feeding patterns of our resident ruffed grouse. What helped even more is that over the last few days there has been a steady wind from the south, perhaps holding some of those woodcock in our area for longer than they would like.

Paul with his NH ruffed grouse
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/24/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty written by: bs
Sometimes we must sit back and realize what we witness out there in the grouse woods. Sometimes we have to take a little time out of the hunt and admit that we have just seen something amazing. That happened for my client Paul and I today as we hunted with Monty this morning.
