Aaron the RGS PA Forester and I had a fun afternoon playing in the snow the grouse won for sure but there were plenty of tracks in the thermal cover! Thanks for all your collaborative habitat projects you’ve got going on Aaron, without you we couldn’t make the impact on the landscape scale that we are now!

The old 28g has been treating me well in this late season. It took some adjusting to get used to the side by side but it’s shooting where I’m looking now.

There’s nothing like the feeling of fall in the air, the leaves are changing, the temperatures are dropping, and the thundering sound of grouse wings fills the woods. It’s that time of year when the crisp air carries a bit of magic. Watching the GBK dogs work through the cover, nose to the ground, feels like fall itself, wild, untamed, and full of promise. There’s something special about these autumn days in the grouse woods, and with the dogs leading the way, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable season. We may just have to put some old dogs on the ground tomorrow. #GrouseHunting #YoungDog #AutumnWoods #RuffedGrouse #grousedogs #ruffedgrousesociety #brittanyspaniel #gsp

So much food to choose from this season! I’ve got apples that have been laying in the yard for weeks and they’re not being cleaned up by the deer and bear like they normally are! On a run this week we saw all 4 of these food sources, talk about a productive covert!

Training Tip for the Day!If you have a young dog and you are trying to build a wild bird dog then keep this in mind. While training on wild birds in the preseason of August and September do not put your pup on woodcock. I know many will say that's all we have is woodcock to train on, but if you want to train on grouse you can ,I did it for years before living in grouse country. Here's why:If you train on woodcock you will give a young dog too many opportunities to get in tight on the bird and it still hold. This does not translate to a cautious long nosed dog, which is what you need to build a grouse dog. The number of grouse contacts needed to train a young dog is much less if you don't confuse them on their need to be cautious by putting them on woodcock in between. So, stick to higher elevation cuts that are prime age where you know you won't be finding woodcock through August and September and it will set you up for a much more successful first season with a young dog. Tell us what you think about this concept for training a young grouse dog! #grousedog #RuffedGrouse

Look who checked in today not too shabby for a young pup 5-1/2 months! Andrew Lamonte
