With apologies to The Gruffalo:

 

 

All was quite in the deep dark wood.

 

A hunter, and his son, shot a grouse....

Soon to be 6, he's made a few trips last year and a few more this year but this was the first time I've got a bird while he has been with me. My oversized hunting coat barely fit afterward.

Yes. My impression is that there are less this year as well.

 

The fisher population is very high this year in the area and they do a number on them bush chickens. We filled our fisher quota pretty fast and there are still tracks everywhere.

Congrats !!! were you up where I met you ? I haven't seen very many birds around but the other guy I trap with says he sees lots but they are staying high in the trees.

 

Yes. My impression is that there are less this year as well.

 

 

You know I would have thought as well....they were reeeeeely skittish and I didn't see many early in the season.

But that changed during my deer hunt this year.

I could have clubbed a few lol...

 

And the hares were out in force as well, I had to call my dogs off several times while driving for Bambi.

We have fishers as well but what was noticably different this year...i saw next to no wolf and coyote sign.

I'm not sure what drove them out, but I'm glad :)

 

Great shot of your son though, the beginings of great family tradition right there :santa:
