Well, the 2010 grouse hunting season has ended in Maine. But that doesn’t mean Puck and I can’t go out and chase grouse. Here are some shots from our first trip of 2011. We had one solid point. I’m not sure if there was a bird, though. Puck may have been pointing a fresh grouse bed and droppings. She sure thought there was a bird there. Enjoy the pics.
