A Word on Hunting Grouse and Woodcock from Jim
Grouse hunting in the Northwoods has been very good this Fall. The ten year cycle reaches a peak at the end of each decade according to many observers of the grouse population. If this is true then each year should get better as we approach 2010.
Hunters have been reporting as many as 30 flushes each day. A couple of weeks ago a hunter from Virginia staying at our farm got the daily limit for both grouse and woodcock. (5 grouse and 3 woodcock)
The grouse is a beautiful bird and considered by many to be the most difficult game bird to hunt. A good dog that stays in close is important. Here at The Farm we can give solid advice on areas to hunt, and there are good guides available.
Our conservation warden, Kendall Frederick, observed that grouse hunters as a rule are not interested in killing a large amount of birds. They enjoy being in the woods with their dog, the company of other hunters and the atmosphere of the Northwoods. He further observed that they share high outdoor ethics as do trout fishermen.
For this reason, we enjoy having grouse hunters on our farm. We look forward to helping you plan your next hunt on The Farm.
