[QUOTE="birddoginQ, post: 1727989, member: 4959"] Took the opportunity with the beautiful east Tennessee day to get out a walk the woods a bit with the bird dog. With zero places to quail hunt now I have decided to spend all my remaining season chasing grouse. I can count on one hand the number of times that I have set out to seriously hunt nothing but grouse. I wasn't even sure until recently if my dog would point a grouse. Well today was epic. First point....bird down...5 others take flight from near by. Walk a while more and see one flush well in front of the dog....then another.....then another to light in a tree. Belle ran around a bit and then pointed at the base of the tree. Flush the bird out....2 down. Decided to send the dog down through a rhododendron thicket along a small spring. Belle pointed in some nasty thick stuff and I flush the bird up to the gentleman I was with. 3 Down. My dogs first successful hunt and we have 1 limit. Moved a few more birds with no shot, but all told one incredible day. Hunted with an older gentleman who has been around dogs and birds a long time. Learned a lot today and got to watch my dog put on a show. All birds killed or pointed period where by her. Had 2 setters out along with my short hair (Belle).
