Salmon and snappers
I was remembering this morning the time long ago when there was so much bait, alewives, in Lake Michigan that they would form huge balls that would come to the surface driven by huge numbers of salmon underneath them. That was back in the infancy of the fisherery, before zebra mussels and over-planting of salmon [...]
2012 Salmon Fishing – Here We Go
I can’t start 2012 with salmon fishing news yet, hell, the boat is still in winter storage and it won’t be until May it floats again. However, if you are in the middle of winter desperation and looking for a little fishing news while we all wait for Leland salmon fishing to begin again, follow [...]
The Grouse With Nine Lives
They say cats have nine lives and so it seems some grouse do too. It was the fall of 2009 and Sid my year and a half old English setter was in her first year of hunting by herself. We were in a favorite cover in Michigan’s upper peninsula that we call the Coyote Cover [...]
Grouse Are Tough To Hit
About the time I start thinking that this grouse hunting game is easy I get a lesson in the reality of the sport. Today I had 18 grouse flushes, four shots, and zero grouse in the bag. At least the woodcock were good to me, although I missed quite a few of them too on [...]
A Woodcock Story
Not every hunting story has to be big and this one fits the small profile. This afternoon Birdie and I were exploring good looking grouse cover when she went on point facing a clump of spruce in an aspen area. It looked like a classic grouse set-up. With Birdie on one side I carefully circled [...]
Late October Grouse Hunting in Michigan
While we didn’t see big numbers of grouse today, I did see nearly twenty and a sack full of woodcock. Tonight the northern lights are pulsing down on the north woods in pink and pale colors and I’m wondering how they will affect hunting tomorrow. It looks like a good day ahead.
A Very Unusual Grouse
I shot an unusual grouse this morning. while looking like a ruffed grouse in every way, its coloration was different than any I had seen before. Generally grouse are either red or gray phase birds with some being a mixture of the two. It is always part of the grouse hunting game to look at [...]
How Do You spell Botox? Anyway, its the look of a happy grouse dog.
The dogs have four days off, much to their dissapointment. They need the rest time and I suppose I do too. Our yard needs its first raking and the to-do list is long, but if I get cracking and get it done we’re going back to the woods soon. Keeping a dog in shape is [...]
Buckeye Boys Can Fish!
Here is what these two guys who know the fall fishing ropes wrote. “Mark and I caught these in just a little over three hours of fishing on Sat. Oct. 8th out of Glen Arbor, Mich. The bigger fish are steelhead trout while the smaller ones are two year old king salmon. Mark’s fish was right [...]
C-Worthy Grouse Hunting Report October 17, 2011
The wind was blowing so hard that I was surprised that the dogs could find a grouse yesterday. We walked the two-tracks where we were safe from falling limbs and trees. The forest roads had lots of limbs and trees in them and we had to double back in the car at one point when [...]
