September 1st is rapidly approaching. Are you ready?
For me September 1st will be West to the mountains to chase the elusive blue grouse. It has become a tradition. Work calendar gets penciled in as soon as it comes out.
It will be nice to walk the edges of the aspens and evergreens with the dogs working in front. The thrill of the flush and the excitement of pulling the trigger and calling the dog for a retrieve.
I think this year will be a good year. I have seen a large number of birds. I saw a juvenile rooster who looked to be 1st hatch and several broods which looked to be much later just last weekend. Actually have seen birds in places I haven't for many years. I am looking forward to 2017-2018.
Time again for pics of the big black dog...
