NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/15/2014
Filed in: 2014 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty | Bode | Rudy written by: bs
Changing conditions for grouse and woodcock hunting here in New Hampshire's north country lately, making it hard sometimes to figure out where they're at. We have still been moving our share of birds, but there's been some work involved for sure.

VT Grouse Hunting Update: 10/10/2014
Filed in: 2014 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty | Bode written by: bs
After a couple of less than stellar days of hunting, that coincidentally had less than stellar weather (showers coming and going, with a fair share of wind too), we finally had a good one today in northern Vermont. Along for the ride today were two veterans of the grouse woods, Randy and Leighton, who have hunted with me many times before.

Bode with retreive of ruffed grouse
Nh Grouse Hunting Update: 10/6/2014
Filed in: 2014 Upland Bird Hunting | Bode written by: bs
One week down, with quite a few more to go, and it's been a strange start to the upland bird hunting season for me and my pack. While we've been seeing or hearing birds in all of the familiar places during our summertime training excursions, suddenly the birds have become hard to find at times in this opening week.

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.
