I started bird hunting 2 seasons ago, and before that had never really shot shotguns except maybe once every other year. I’ve gotten much better through practicing over the last year, but want to become lights out, especially since I’m a grouse hunter. What are some good drills/things to...

I have 2 females and 1 male American Brittany puppies that will be ready for new home at the end of January. Both parents are AKC registered and come from great hunting lines. Both parents are smaller in stature much like the size of a French Brittany. The tails have been docked and dew claws...

I am little new to grouse hunting with my WPG. I have hit a few GEMS and have not gotten into many birds the past year. Are the GEMS worth hitting or would I be better to check some other areas out possibly around them? I hope to make it to the UP but thats not an easy trip for me due to time...

Hey all, Long story short, I am a long time Michigan native who took a dream job in WI two years back. I now have a 10 month GSP and am planning to hunt the western upper peninsula pretty aggressively this year. Does anyone have any experience with Blue Bill Creek GEM? I want to get this pup...

Hey all, first time poster. I’m up in the Eastern UP chasing sharptails for a couple of days. I’m a newbie and I’m dogless. I have great success with ruffs and woodcock without a dog, but this is all new territory for me. There just seems like too much ground to cover for one guy. Any tips...

This year, a buddy and I did five 1 and 2 day grouse hunting trips west of Oscoda with so so results. Rather than packing and driving halfway up north several times, next year a buddy and I are going to rent a cabin in the UP for a solid week of grouse hunting late October. I have heard...

Hello! I have a 6 month old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon currently at Wing and Shot gun dog training for the next few weeks. This is my first bird dog, I have minimal training supplies but just joined my local NAVHDA and will be doing some training come March with them as well as doing more...

I know this is a stretch but I was wondering if anyone would like to join me for a hunt one of these weekends in Michigan (northern area of the lower peninsula), possibly lame duck creek or anywhere else. I am a newcomer to the grouse game. I have a young Brittany who went away to school in...

During opening day of archery I heard a grouse drumming off in the distance and was wondering what the grouse hunting is like in Allegan. I read they tried some rehab work but haven't looked yet to see if it has been successful, anyone else have any luck with grouse in Allegan SGA?

Disclosure: Posting in General for more exposure :) I've been posting in Waterfowl... a Tennessee boy (fishing guide/outdoor writer) who came to duck hunt in Michigan for the first time. Of course my timing couldn't have been worse (weather-wise), but I've been having a good time and killed a...

Hello all, I'm sure this question is in here a million times, but the search wouldn't work for me for some reason. I have a grouse/woodcock trip scheduled for Oct 16-22. I'm planning in the majority of the leaves being off trees. I will be using two different 12ga double guns. My question is...

Wondering if anyone has some birds for sale in the Southeast MI area. Grouse, Quail, or Woodcock for training.

I'm visiting fam in Mackinac county for 10 days in early august. Plan to do some upland training and preseason grouse/woodcock scouting. (I'm returning in October 2016 to hunt). Is there anything in particular concerning safety; my dog's? e.g. Snake boots, additional vaccinations, mosquito...

After a long wait, I finally brought Chief home this spring from HiFive Kennels. He is my latest addition to the team. I had been on the waiting list for a pup since last August and due to some (mostly) unavoidable circumstances, that wait was a little longer than I had anticipated. When he...
