Deer hunting in Vermont, climbing a steep hillside, trying not to make any noise in the near-dark dawn. A couple of partridge took off from a tree and the THUNDER of their wings, made me drop to my knees [to gather my wits] ...scared the holy beegeezus outta me.
Yeah...I have about spotted myself at that sound before, especially when you aren’t expecting it, which is just about every time!
Ruffled Grouse can cause heart failure when your hunting deer along old logging roads here in Bender County Cal.
