By now you have likely heard of the North American Grasslands Conservation Act, which is gaining steam in DC, and for good reason. Since 1970, grasslands bird populations have declined by 40 percent with iconic species like bobwhite quail seeing declines greater than 80 percent. This Act will work in cooperation with existing programs like the Conservation Reserve Program to maintain and enhance our grasslands across the nation and provide opportunities to pursue our beloved prairie birds like sharp-tailed grouse and prairie chickens. Read more at @harvestingnature (link in profile).

The birds were sparse and seemingly educated but a fine morning nevertheless. A whiskey and wild plum glaze was a perfect finish for the grill.

What’s that you say? It’s nearly grouse season?! It’s been a long summer but it’s almost time. The days chasing these girls through the timber and grasslands cannot arrive soon enough!

Never thought I would own another synthetic stock or pump shotgun, but a new model fell into my lap this year. I’m usually skeptical about low-cost firearms, but the Stevens 320 performed well on turkeys this spring - turkey hunting being one of the main reasons I kept the gun. More info is available in my review of the Stevens 320 pump (link in profile).

A basket-rack three-point in velvet was a lucky but unfortunate find this day in the grouse woods. It likely died from epizootic hemorrhagic disease like many other whitetails in eastern Washington and northern Idaho last fall. It held to the back of my vest as Finn and I went on to flush a wad of grouse, adding two to the vest to round out the morning.

I think Zeta surprised herself with how much she enjoyed fetching quail in the snow this past January. Hopefully we can have that skill honed for all situations by September.
