Opening Day of Grouse Season in Idaho 2013

Finally getting around to posting this, what a great opener. The bird numbers were great and the dog work was excellent!

We had a mix of blues, ruff, and spruce grouse.  I actually even tripled on a family of blue grouse that Milly and Harley pointed. What a great 4 days!
