November 1st

Went back out to the cabin.  i missed 4 birds in a row.  Bad shooting.  I flushed all the birds.  the dogs were always upwind of them when they went by.  Finally saw some scrapes and rubs in the woods. 
Ruger did end up pointing twice.  One false point, and then again he pointed one in a tree.  i don't know if it was on the ground or not to start with.  I never heard it fly.  He locked up with it in the tree. so i decided to shoot it. 

I have seen a grouse 3 times in a row in the exact same spot.  I can never get a shot off though.
