Went up to the mountains after a fresh snow for a New Year's Eve grouse hunt. We had three guys and three dogs - a German Shorthair pointer and two labs. We worked for about 3 hours around this ridge and put about 8 birds up and took 2. Not bad stats in the world of grouse. I shot one and which was the first in a couple years. Hopefully it wont be that long again because we had an absolute blast.
