Got another report on the Brownlee area and birds. Geoff says he spent a month over at Brownlee and was disappointed in number of birds seen. Especially the huns.
As far as the fire is going, Many hunters might change their plans on the area. At 40% containment and almost everything north and east of highway 71 being burnt the hunting areas are going to be limited quite a bit. Most areas south and west of the road were untouched but will probably see heavy pressure this year do to the limited access.
The smoke has been heavy for the last week but the boys and I made it up high in the timber to find a few ruff grouse. Ruff's are frustrating to hunt. They are usually in the heavy brush and fly with the brush as cover. We busted quite a few that we never got shots at and the only points we had were birds that flew to the trees. I say points, but it's more like hound dogs treeing cats with the high pitched barking as the dogs look up in the trees at the birds taunting them. We did get a couple of birds that made the mistake of flying into the open and once again both dogs got to get a bird to retrieve and were happy with that.

Congrats on the grouse! Too bad about the fire location but I’m sure you have a few other locations you are thinking of at this time. Wishing you a healthy and successful season this fall. Hope that leg is healing well. See you when you come through the big town of New Plymouth.

Thanks Alan. Looking forward to heading that way and see those fine setters. One more procedure on the 1st and about a week recovery and I'll be that way hitting the hills as much as these bones will permit.
Hope your season goes well.
