A Little Catching Up To Do ...
Filed in: 2017 Upland Bird Hunting | Rosie | Bode | Monty written by: bs
Well, it's been a long time since I have been able to post anything about the grouse and woodcock seasons in northern New Hampshire and Vermont, but I have a valid excuse. My computer decided that it had enough a couple of weeks ago, and it has taken some time to get the new one in and get it up and running - that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

Monty on point
Vermont or New Hampshire?
Filed in: Perspectives | Rosie written by: bs
Which state is better for grouse hunting - Vermont or New Hampshire? I get asked that question a lot, and to be honest with you, both states have been good to me in the past. I've also had tough days in both states as well, so neither has been consistently dependable either.

Bode endures more training runs for grouse and woodcock
A Taste of What is to Come
Filed in: 2017 Bird Dog Training | Bode | Monty | Rosie written by: bs
Yesterday (September 1) was what you might call "brisk" - at 44 degrees at 8 AM, it not only felt like it could have been October 1, but it could have easily passed for mid-October or even early November. That temperature, with a healthy wind from the north, made it feel a bit more chilly, leaving me to wonder where my gloves were - yes, they were at home, right where they should have been at this stage of late summer.

Monty earned his rest this year
A Cornucopia of Topics
Filed in: Perspectives | Rosie | written by: bs
"How was the bird hunting last season?"

This has been a common question for me from Tall Timber guests and bird hunters alike. My response has been that we seemed to have two different seasons last fall. The first one wasn't great - it was warm, with lots of foliage on the trees for the first couple weeks of October.
