Keith:
I am really sorry to hear that you're not seeing any grouse back there as I never even cut a track this year. I wasn't ever in what I would call classic grouse cover, but still...it is troubling. Penn's woods in winter was always a treat to hunt grouse in over Christmas break as it was always great fun to get outdoors in the brisk weather and have it all to yourself. Easily the high point of the season for me back then. I do hope the Game Commission actually figures this out for a change.
On the good-news side of things, last year the weight of my flinter was actually something of a problem due to my lower back issues. This year was night and day different. If anything I seem to be doing better over time, which is very heartening considering that I turn 60 tomorrow. Stem-cells are something of a minor-miracle in my book now.
