NH Grouse Hunting Update: 11/3
Matt, with his second ruffed grouse of the day.
The New Hampshire swing of our guiding dates came to an end today, and it was a good ending to our season over here. We moved ten grouse and a woodcock (not surprising, since we had seen a few more timberdoododles in these areas just a few days ago) in an abbreviated session today.
Matt's two pointers, Brutus and Nero, did the bulk of the work over the last two days. Brutus was especially good today, pointing two separate grouse, one of which paid the price, when Matt unleashed a quick shot to take it trying to escape. Later on, Nero contacted quite a few grouse, in quick succession. One of them made the mistake of flying back at Matt, who made a nice shot.
Two birds in the bag on our final day of hunting in New Hampshire. While grouse sightings have continued to be a challenge, it appears as though most of the woodcock have now left our area for points to the south. We only moved one today, and it's really no surprise, given some of the frosty nights we've been having.
We will be hunting exclusively in Vermont for the next week - more updates to come ...
