I have been seeing some birds lately, it looks like they may be on there upswing. anyone pumped up for the opener next weekend, I know I am.

My family has some land near Portage lake on W210. Because the weather was so hot this summer, didn't get a chance to look around. Lot's of WMA land there, so hope there are some grouse near us. Will know in mid-Sept when we go up to do the deer stands. This cool weather gets the blood pumping again.

I'll be in the area on Saturday chasing around a few grouse. I've also noticed an increase in bird number throughout the north country.

Let us know how you do, I haven't hunted the McGregor area in probably 10 years due to some "unfortunate shots" that were taken at my father and myself by other hunters. Kinda ruins a weekend of hunting when you are minding your own business...But would love to try it agian if the numbers of birds are there.

was out on the opener, but soo were many others, not a good day. went out in the rain friday, seen one grouse, had no shot. it will get better, I never have done well on the first couple weeks of the season.

how is everyone else doing so far?
