Thoughts and pictures of my wanderings through the Allegheny Mountains hunting grouse and woodcock with my Ryman-type English Setters during the fall and winter months, fishing for smallmouth bass in local streams and rivers during the summer months and wandering over my 66 acres of heaven year round.

1st Scouting trip
On a tip from my vet I headed north in search of new coverts. A large hunting lease where he said his flush rate was as good as on his Michigan trips. As with any grouse hunter I'm always looking for new coverts, so leaving the setters at home because of the hot weather I journeyed into this unfamiliar cover. With the cover too thick for bushwacking I walked this old gas well road and was rewarded with 3 grouse flushes.

Looks those covers might hold some grouse.
Let us know when you return this fall.
Hello Rick,
Following a tip off from Albert A Rasch on his blog rodeo post I've landed upon your blog. Must say that it's a good call by Albert, if you don't mind I'll tag along for a while.
Regards,
John
Found you via Albert's Blog Rodeo. He's a gold miner that's for sure. Looking forward to visiting often!
Best to you,

Hey Boys thanks for lookin'. Pull up a chair. Fall's coming and I hope to have some hunting tales to tell.
Like most of the others, I discovered your highly evocative blog through Albert.
I grew up in the Black Forest and, in the days when mothers could safely tell their children to go out and play and not come back until it was dark, my brothers and I ranged through forests and hills inhabited by deer, wild boar, a host of game birds and streams teeming with Bachforelle.
You live in a beautiful part of the world, one so similar to that of my youth and it makes me quite homesick.
Well,
I found your blog through Rasch Outdoors too. Thanks for all the fine pictures! Don't get out as often as I would like, and I like to see what pretty country you live in!
Big Bob.
