Ruffed grouse in northern Michigan is my favorite

I hunted waterfowl for more than 50 years until it was my time to stop. I have taken my share. Have always enjoyed hunting pheasant but had to head west for better opportunities. Now I reside in MT where there are a few long tails, Huns and the occasional quail. We spent 20 years in SW New Mexico where I hunted Gambels and Scaled quail. Both a real thrill to hunt. Best part of bird hunting is the dogs that I have had over the years. Mostly labradors, but a couple of Chessies. All good dogs. Now, as I approach 80 my upland bird hunting is slowing. I have switched to a Turkish made 28 gauge O/U because the weight is minimal. Still get some grouse, Huns and pheasant. I am pleased overall. MTG
