We had a fairly decent Grouse and Dove hunt this last weekend. 4 Ruffs, 4 Doves and a decent Blue. With the arrival of cooler and wetter weather, most of the doves up here have headed south.

Here' s a pic of Casey and me with the Blue.



Here' s a comparison of an average size Ruff (1 lb or so) and the Blue. Although the Blue was only a juvenile, he was fairly decent size (2.5 lbs).

Very cool, Doc! I went this weekend, and got 6 Ruffed, and 4 quail! The Blues are a bit harder to find where I hunt, dangit!Maybe next weekend! Gotta go again---we already ate those!

Hey Doc....Great pic' s.....Shooter and I went out early saturday morning.....got 2 ruff' s....then ran into to many bear....so we headed home....1 of em...if not the state record....close to it...[the bear that is..]

So, tell me about Shooter' s work with the Ruffs................

Nice pictures Doc E.
My wife & I also grouse hunt. We mainly hunt blue' s, we like the bigger birds & the country they live in is awesome. My wife & I have gone out three time this year for blues. We have been having some great hunting. I am also working with my 1-year & 3-month old golden retriever named Tana. She is work great & is always wanting to please.
Hope you can get your wife hooked like I got mine hooked?

Good luck hunting
