Ragged Mountain-North

A bout of arthritis in my neck has kept me out of the coverts, but yesterday Thicket and I took a short hunt in one of my southern coverts, Ragged Mountain-North. The game commission had taken the deer fence down around this clearcut this summer and we hunted around the perimeter.  Thick greenbrier on steep terrain makes this covert especially hard to hunt and although Thicket hunted hard I neither saw nor heard any flushes.
