Lucy the wonder Spaniel flushed a covey of about 8 birds on the evening walk in a piece of Forest I have never seen them on before. The young guy Tucker was right behind her but I was able to call him off before the flush. Kind of surprised me really, I figured she was messing around with a rabbit. added some excitement to the walk that is for sure. Birds would have been an easy shot too. It gets my hopes up for the grouse. Seems like an early fall, saw the first leaves turning last week, about 3 weeks ahead of time.
