Well, today was the first day of small game season here in Michigan. I took Hunter out this afternoon after work. Ran into a couple other people in one of my favorite spots so we went elsewhere. Hard to see those Partridge with all those leaves on the trees still. Hunter did good though. He ran onto the first grouse but then he realized what we were there for and got his game face on. We ended up getting 3 grouse today and had alot of fun doing it. There are alot of birds this year but the normal places are not there this year. All the berries have long gone so we hit the edges of the swamp. There are still a few woodcock around but we like the grouse much better. We are headed out in the morning again. Who knows maybe we'll find some more.
