Grouse Hunting in Potter County Pa

Post by Ryman Gun Dog » Fri Nov 26, 2010 2:19 pm

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Grouse Season this year on the northen tier of Pa has been just fantastic to say the least, great dog work good companionship and fantastic hunting.
We train and raise Grouse dogs at Pine Creek Grouse dog Trainers and have men and ladies in from all over our Country. Eric Miller the Chief
Pa SGL Biologist and his father spend time with us each season, along with the 84 Lumber suppliers and many different dog breeders, and back woods friends.
I thought you might like to see a few pictures that were taken in the Pa Grouse woods and at the training facility.

The 84 boys moving down the Tram Road spook a far out Grouse, from the edge of the Tram Road, note the Grouse in flight banking right, just above the Tram Road.

The men move up on another fine Grouse set by Penny, this time the Grouse beats them.

Harold celebrating with Pine Creek Ryman Daisy, after making a 50+ yard kill shot on the big Grouse, with a 20 guage double gun.
To say the least the old Marine Sniper shoots more than just a rifle very very well.

Jonny catches RGD sneaking off with a couple beautiful Grouse from her home Covert, Daisy set these birds up so quickly I did not have time to put on my hunting vest.

Come experience Potter/Tioga County, Pa for your self some day. As the Seneca law says, come in Peace, depart in Peace.

Redman25 & SpinJen,

Thanks so much and Redman I hope you make it back to WV and do some home town Grouse hunten, I have always been amazed that on these
boards its the disagreements that draw posters instead of pictures of beautiful mountains, homes and people.
Thanks for your comments.

Ryman,
Great photos and good looking country. I reminds me of stuff I used to hunt growing up in New England. I couldn't tell from the pictures but do you guys have any of the ruff grouse color phase where they have both the red tail and ruff? The first time I saw one of those was one I shot in N. Idaho.

Fiskvik,
We have all the different phases here in Pa, depending on where you are hunting, the red stuff is more toward South Western Pa, we have some Gray birds mixed in with our Brown stuff here in Potter/Tioga. The birds are beautiful and sometimes larger than normal.
