PA grouse opener
It was a good start to the PA grouse season. It was colder then normal for this time of year and we actually had a few snow showers. I don't remember every having snow on opening day. We started out in some unfamiliar cuts. We didn't move many birds, but Lilah had a few nice points and I was able to connect on the only shot I got. I thought, I hit the grouse solid and expected Lilah to find it where it fell. She quickly determined it wasn't there and went into tracking mode. She did an awesome job tracking it down. She found it 40 yards away under a log. It felt good to hit the 1st grouse of the season with the Fox 20 guage. We finished the day in a familiar cut, but only moved one bird.

Re: PA grouse opener
That’s awesome. I’m so jealous. I’m laid up with recuperating from arm surgery after a nasty staff infection knocked me on my butt.
Fingers crossed that I’ll be back out there in a few weeks.
