Project Upland produces some great videos... this is certainly one!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Hunting upland birds with dogs is great fun.

Spent thousands of hours doing it.

I have hunted all different types of wild birds but the one that I have not and will not give to somebody is Grouse, they to me is the finest wild fowl to eat and challenging to hunt. I had a well experienced Lab who would tip me off once he got wind of them and though he was obedient if the grouse was a running I would have to keep up with him. On the occasion he would get one to hold he would look like a pointer and if I missed he would give me a look {"like don't do it again)

A lot of follow shooters over the years would give me heck for shooting sitting grouse.

I would tell them.

Grouse taste so good a sitting one is a gift from God.

Yes hunting ruffies is a lot of fun as are their cousins sharptails in the more open country.

p dog...unequivocally can say that where I grew up most hunters just shot grouse sitting at the side of the logging roads and did not flush them and shoot them on the wing. Very few used dogs, and if they did it was just to run and fetch a grouse.

I think I was probably in my late teens before I met a guy with good bird dogs that hunted ruffies with them. He was also the guy that introduced me to pheasants. Later I hunted with relatives in the "prairies" that used dogs for sharptails and huns. A day in the field behind good bird dogs is hard to beat.
