Changing Seasons
Filed in: 2020 Upland Bird Hunting | Rosie written by: bs
A tale of two completely different days for grouse hunting in northern New Hampshire this weekend, due entirely to the vastly different weather we had on successive days. Both days were good in their own ways, but I'll take Sunday morning's weather every time.

Woodcock hunting in NH
A Week in the Books
Filed in: 2020 Upland Bird Hunting written by: bs
Finally, a rare day off from the grouse woods today. Much needed for myself and primarily the dogs - they have worked hard every day so far and were definitely ready for a little rest. They'll be back at it tomorrow, and quite a lot more over the next month or so. The day off allowed me some reflection on the season so far and what we have to look forward to in the coming weeks.

NH Grouse Hunting Update: 10/7
Filed in: 2020 Upland Bird Hunting | Rosie written by: bs
Sometimes everything falls right - the conditions are perfect, the dog work is spot on, and the birds are flying, sometimes cooperatively for my clients. Every now and then we have a special day, and today falls in to the "memorable" category.

Grouse hunting in New Hampshire
Opening Week
Filed in: 2020 Grouse Hunting | Rosie | Bode | Monty written by: bs
The grouse season is underway here in northern New Hampshire, and it has been what we thought it would be, at least to this point. In short, there have been many more grouse contacts than woodcock, and though sporadic at times, the action has been steady most days.

More September Scouting
Filed in: 2020 Bird Dog Training written by: bs
Suddenly, fall is here in northern New Hampshire and Vermont, and final preparations for the upcoming grouse and woodcock seasons are ongoing. Walking in the woods is getting a bit easier now, and it is simply beautiful out there.

September Scouting
Filed in: 2020 Bird Dog Training | Rosie | Bode written by: bs
The season is now less than a month away (actually, it's 24 days away, but who's counting?) and we are starting to hit the woods with a bit more regularity these days. We're trying to sharpen the dogs for the rigors that lie ahead, improve my own "grouse woods" conditioning, scout out new areas for this season, and just get back in the swing of things generally.

2019 Grouse hunting Highlights
Filed in: 2019 Upland Bird Hunting | Monty written by: bs
It's feeling more and more like autumn in northern New Hampshire lately - 56 degrees today as I write this, and a much needed change in the weather and, thankfully, no more humidity. While summers tend to be short and sweet up here, fall can be even shorter at times, and becomes a more treasured part of our memory banks on those especially beautiful days.

Winter grouse woods
Final Session
Filed in: 2019 Upland Bird Hunting | Bode written by: bs
The 2019 New Hampshire and Vermont grouse hunting seasons are nearly over now. Only one day left to pursue partridge, in the hopes of having one or two of them over as dinner guests. My pack and I have been out a few times in the past week, with mostly nothing to show for our efforts.
