My opening day was a little longer, but less productive. I covered 18,970 steps while Dusty covered quite a few more. A nice 70 F with sun, made it plenty warm, but not unpleasant. We heard 5 grouse, laid eyes on 2 of them, and shot at none of them. But we saw some interesting things along the way.







An intriguing pile of mysterious fish bones multiple hundreds of yards from the river. There were at least three of them all next to each other. They were probably 2-3 lb fish when they were alive. But what were they and how did they all get here? I can only guess.





Lots of different kinds of mast out there right now. These are pretty tasty.


I drove to my planned site for next week's woodcock opener and found this. Not too happy with that, and I can't see what there is log up there. I will have to find my woodcock elsewhere.

And this was a bit of a surprise, given my location. But very cool.





My reward was a bottle of Coke on the way home and a flat iron steak soaked in equal parts Lagavulin, soy sauce, and my own maple syrup, grilled to 113F, and sliced thin. Pretty good.

Looks like a pair of spruce grouse there, Lloyd. I would have taken one home. They are way under rated.
