NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/14/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting written by: bs
The weather in northern NH has remained a bit on the warm side for us bird hunters, but finally cooled off today. A front moved in last night, bringing with it some much needed moisture that helped with the scenting conditions tremendously for our pups this morning.

Northern NH fall foliage
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/5/2013
Filed in: 2013 Upland Bird Hunting written by: bs
We were out a few days this week where it felt like it was up to 65 degrees, and Thursday there was no help from the clouds and we must have pushed 70 degrees. That makes things mighty tough for our four legged friends, so the best hunting opportunities of the day can be found early and late in the day.

Pittsburg NH ruffed grouse hunting
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/25
Filed in: 2012 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty written by: bs
Scenting conditions were particularly good this morning, and Monty did a nice job of making some great points on both grouse and woodcock. His most impressive point was a 4-5 minute special, where he held his point beautifully until Mike and I could get to him - alas, that one got away.

NH ruffed grouse hunting
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/18
Filed in: 2012 Upland Bird Hunting | Greta | Rudy written by: bs
It’s pretty easy to hunt (and guide for) grouse and woodcock in years of plenty - this has definitely been one of those years, and we’ve had some great days lately. We moved our most birds ever for three days (91 - 66 of which were grouse) this week when I was out with Paul. While our first day together was our best with 35 bird contacts, Day Two was a respectable 29 contacts (25 grouse, 4 woodcock), and yesterday yielded another 27 contacts (19 grouse, 8 woodcock).

Northern NH pheasant hunting
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/14
Filed in: 2012 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty written by: bs
Cold and blustery have been the two adjectives to describe our weather pattern lately. Yesterday morning was a crisp 24 degrees, and we had some biting wind on Friday and Saturday of this weekend. It snowed last night and seems to be sticking around a bit today, but it will be gone soon - we have a slight warm up in store for us this week it appears.

Northern NH ruffed grouse hunting
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/11
Filed in: 2012 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty | Greta written by: bs
Today was also very windy, so that was something new for us this season and usually means skittish grouse. That was partially true, as about half of the grouse that we encountered often were off like a flash when they saw us or heard the tinkle of Monty’s bell.

Woodcock hunting in northern NH
NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/9
Filed in: 2012 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty | Rudy written by: bs
Great day yesterday in the uplands - in fact, probably my best ever since those days when I was in high school cruising the woods in search of grouse with my brothers. It started right from the beginning too - we started moving woodcock immediately, with Monty making several good points.
