Here a couple photos from last weekend. This is the last weekend before firearm deer season starts in Minnesota. I humor my hunting buddies by going deer hunting with them besides I have never felt safe hunting birds on public land the opening week of deer season. The real truth I like eating venision the first leagal deer that comes by gets it- then back to bird hunting. Saturday it finally stopped raining. I head out to the woods happy to see the leaves just about down. The Rollie got into this thicket and went on point. By the time I got up to him the bird had moved. I released him and off he went tracking the bird again. He went back on point on the edge of the trail- I got up to him to find Rollie on point with a grouse in the tree. At first I tried to get it to fly with no luck so I decided to get the camera out and take a picture. This bird had no intention of flying and I wasn’t going blast him off the limb. I got the picture then went in to flush the bird and kill -it did fly but not the direction I want and I missed it- Twice!! pretty funny
I managed to connect to a couple other honest birds and even flushed a rooster gotta love Minnesota. Woodcock were no existent except one. I also had this big doe come busting out of the cover with in 2 feet of me, run across the trail and get stuck in the fence on the other side craziest thing I have ever seen took a good 20 seconds to get free. Discovered a pond with a dozen wood ducks which flew right in my face had all lead so no shooting
Suburban is sitting on the street with a broken ignition cylinder untouched -may be calling a tow truck today.

Sounds like you had fun. I had a grouse do that to me up in the Boundary Waters one summer. It was spring, so he was thumpin away and doing his best to attract hens. I took picture after picture from about five feet away only to realize I didn't have any film in the camera. Remember when you had to put film in cameras?

Good luck with the suburban.

Great hunt, thanks for sharing!
Used to have the possibility for similar mixed bags like that where I grew up in PA.
Sure is some tasty eating!
