A Grouse Hunter's Almanac : The Other Kind of Hunting

Aldo Leopold wrote, ""There are two kinds of hunting: ordinary hunting, and ruffed-grouse hunting."" Like Leopold, Mark Parman takes to the woods when the aspens are smoky gold. He distills twenty seasons of grouse hunting in an evocative almanac that chronicles the early season of the grouse hunt through its end in the snows of January. He writes of old dogs and gun lust, cover and clear cutting, climate change, companions male and female, wildlife art, and stumps.
