This was the result of our opening day grouse hunt near my brother's property on the North Shore. My brother Tom and his vizsla Ruby were doing the hunting, I was carrying brush loppers, neither were used. Our several mile walk was more of a deer scouting mission than a hunting mission, but I thought that we would have more than a tired dog to show for it. I figure that we walked around 3 or 4 miles through some pretty good looking grouse habitat and we only flushed one bird. The woods were still thick and Tom never even got a shot because of the foliage. We never settled on a spot to hang the portable stand, so I never used the loppers. It was still a productive day since I left a nice squiggly line on my GPS, marked a few way points for likely stand locations, and got some much needed exercise.
