WMU 41 weekend update
So from reading about all the grouse reports and not having much luck at the other wmu, I decided to head back to my old stomping grounds i'm quite familiar with. After driving 3+ hours, in some rain, wet slush I finally got to my spot by 7;05 and it was still dark out. Decided might as well and use this time to prep, set up off at 7;15 and only 10min in I spot my first on the trail, fire and I hear something to my right and its another one darting, swing over to the right and just about lifting off I fire and the grouse tumbles and rolls...2hrs later I limit out on birds. By the time I finished plucking/gutting the last bird it started hailing then snowing then turning to rain on the way home
Most leaves are down, some frost/flurries/white stuff on the ground which made it easier spotting them today
Good luck and stay safe!

Good going on the grouse. With that weather observation expect too see woodcock on the move down.
Time in the outdoors is never wasted

With a lot of rain this week, the weather temp swinging Fri to Sat drastically it should be a very ideal weekend with no rain...get out if you can
