This is a trail a little north and east of Phillips. It's typical cover for the grouse woods. This was shot on opening day this year (2009) and you can see the dog is hot. I've often said if I were limited to only one type of bird hunting, it would be for the King of Gamebirds- the Ruffed Grouse. Hopefully, I'll be back up there the end of October to hit the trails again. Now that's some fun hunting with the leaves down and the temp cool all day- perhaps a litlle snow, too.
