I took the boy and the dog out for a few hours of late season grouse hunting today. The snow in Sherburn county was not quite knee deep, and made for tough going. Late season grouse hunting is always hit or miss, today was miss, not a single bird to be seen. Our progress was hampered in the snow by warm 35 ish degree temps.
I am concerned as I didnt see a single grouse footprint in the snow. The good news, I guess, is there are deer everywhere.

Best,
Ted
