Ah, upland hunting. A wonderful thing, probably the best part of the fall.

Yes, indeed. I have to concur that grouse hunting is my favorite. Better than deer. Better than ducks. Better than rabbits.

This excellent article brings back wonderful memories. The author obviously know of what she speaks. She could have give the joys of hunting with a good dog a bit more play, though. Any reasonable grouse dog adds immensely to the pleaure of the hunt.
