Happy New Year

February 2, 2017 by Northwoods'R 4 Comments

With ruffed grouse seasons finally coming to a close here in Minnesota and Wisconsin, I have now begun the annual reflection period and will inevitably begin looking ahead to next year. The late season hunting was ok this year aside from a few cold snaps and an unusual thaw that left the woods covered in ice, however once the snow covers up the ground, grouse hunting just isn’t the same for me.

Training Bird Dogs At Pineridge Grouse Camp

As I pull off the gravel road and onto the driveway, I slow-roll past a familiar mailbox and a smile creeps over my face. I continue on by an “English Setter Crossing” sign and I like to think Hartley, my two-year old setter, is also smiling behind me in his crate. I follow the driveway that separates a beautiful piece of forested bird cover on my left to the open grassy training fields on my right. Eventually the truck is parked and we have arrived, this is Pineridge Grouse Camp. [Read more…]

I had an opportunity to join four others on a hunt to the west, the Montana prairies.  We set up camp and targeted sharp-tailed grouse for eight days straight.  It all started when I met two of the four guys this spring at a 16-Gauge shoot here in the Twin Cities area.  We were all shooting A.H. Fox shotguns and ended up being paired together. [Read more…]

  • A visual story of a grouse that got away. Snow sure provides some fun details about bird behavior #thenorthwoodsr
  • Good job Stella girl. We worked hard for this one today #thenorthwoodsr #onxhunt #ruffedgrousesociety
  • Love it when it all comes together. Surly had this bird pinned on an edge at 140 yards. My heart was pounding by the time I got up to him and this bird had nowhere to go. Flew out into the open and that’s where he landed #thenorthwoodsr #gayforgrouse #onxhunt #publicgrouse
  • Reminiscing about my last walk of grouse camp #thenorthwoodsr #uplandlowlife #gayforgrouse #partyingisthegoodlife
  • Nice day in the woods with my buddy @outgrousen #thenorthwoodsr #ansleyhfox #gayforgrouse
  • I look forward to hunting with these boys all year. #thenorthwoodsr #uplandlowlife #partyingisthegoodlife #lowlifegrousecamp #gayforgrouse
  • These are the days. Wouldn’t trade it for the world! #thenorthwoodsr #uplandlowlife #partyingisthegoodlife #gayforgrouse
  • Partridge pinch #thenorthwoodsr #uplandlowlife #gayforgrouse #partyingisthegoodlife
  • This is the good life. 5th annual lowlife grouse camp. We moved a few birds today and put some in the vest #thenorthwoodsr #uplandlowlife #partyingisthegoodlife #gayforgrouse
  • We’re going to try and make this an annual deal. Two different times now, a year apart on the same day, the Northwoods’R crew executed the partridge pinch over a dog and both pulled the trigger at the same time. The result is a bird in the bag and picture similar to this one. In this moment, it doesn’t matter who killed it but rather that it’s in hand, providing memories and stories #thenorthwoodsr #partridgepinch #ansleyhfox
  • Stella had this bird pinned and provided quite the shot opportunity. I love her retrieve too #thenorthwoodsr
  • This is the good stuff #thenorthwoodsr #ansleyhfox #16gauge
