Thank you all for your help. I have a GSP who does well with Woodcock and would like to try our hand at another wild bird. I am willing to put in the time on the ground to find the birds, after all walking the woods with your dog is half the fun. I am also willing to travel further if that is what I need to do to be successful. Just trying to narrow down my search area for productive State or public hunting lands. I understand that we are looking for young timber stands or overgrown fields and now, certain trees and food sources. I was considering exploring Bear Spring Mountain WMA and Partridge Run WMA to start. Does anyone know of recent clear cutting or logging operations on those or other public hunting areas?
Grouse numbers even when high in NY state are nothing compared to other new England state grouse numbers because we don't have the land and active logging needed to keep them here.
A lot of the old spots that were productive are either overgrown or posted.
Grouse need a certain habitat to keep them around.
NY does have a grouse program, but when there's not a lot of land , but a lot of hunters , your just traveling to take a walk in the woods with your dog in the most beautiful groomed grouse cover imaginable, but there's not a grouse to be found.
You and your dog will tire from seeing no grouse and your GSP will get bored and start looking to hunt other things in the woods.
If you want to get your dog on grouse, I recommend you taking the time to go up to north east kingdom in Vermont or the north Maine woods.
By the time you leave, your dog will know what a grouse is and you'll also know how to shoot at and sometimes hit them.

Grouse will be in the most desolate part of any state land that has the thickest cover filled with multi flora sticker bushes and briars.
Unless you have a good dog, you best bet is to have another hunter sneak to the other side of the thicket and wait for a bird to flush as the other hunter is cursing while being ripped apart trying to make their way through the thicket.

You lost me when you stated that a meteorologist and a climate scientist was the same profession.
Thank you for proving my point on ignorance. I could go on and on about how measuring of carbon in our atmosphere and historical data trends are vastly different from predicting which cloud will go where, but I doubt it would matter to you.
If you'd like to have a discussion, I'd be interested in your profession and education first and then we can continue.

I can't have a discussion with someone who judges people by their profession and education.
I can assume from your responses that your an expert on everything and not open to a real discussion.
Maybe you can enlighten us on the reliability and accuracy of carbon dating tests ?
Even with all of their knowledge, they still can't predict the future.
In the end, their Ivy league educated predictions are only guesses.
Unfortunately those guesses are deemed gospel by Al Gores climate change cult.
The only green he's worried about, is the green money in his bank account.

If you want to argue and debate about how we should react to climate change (who should do what, what should the government do etc) that's totally fine and honestly pretty healthy.
If you want to deny climate change you're now in a very, very small minority. Even some of the most vocal deniers have now agreed that it's real. How we should react should be how some of you approach this discussion. Denying it makes you look pathetically ignorant, especially when many of you are getting your facts from youtube.
sincerely, an environmental engineer.
These are the same experts that can't tell us what the weather will be with certainty in 24 hours using the latest radar, but anyone that doesn't take their word as bible for what they predict is going to happen years and decades from now is considered ignorant ?
No one is claiming the climate doesn't change, just that mankind is to blame for it and that boatloads of money will make severe climate change dissipate.
The fact is that US Pollution regulations have been around for decades being guided by the top climate experts in the field, yet the climate conditions have been getting worse.
Since the issue isn't getting better, Is it ignorant to follow the guidance of these experts blindly anymore ?

What water ?
All of my watering holes and small streams are dry and have been for weeks.
Seen plenty of doe and fawn early in the fields getting water off the grass, but no smells or deer carcasses found in and around my area east of Delhi.

Millions of years ago, deserts were jungles and jungles were deserts.
Mankind had/has nothing to do with the climate changing.
Mankind is killing Mankind, not the planet.
The planet will be here long after mankind has destroyed itself and turned our remains into fossil fuel.

Climate change doesn't exist? Has anyone seen any world news in the last few years?
It is hilarious to what lengths people go to explain things away.
The earth is a disc by the way...
The earth is round in shape, not a disc.
Anyway, Ruining Americas economy because Americans don't want to pay for more expensive products from over regulated American pollution controlled companies is what's wrong here.
They would rather buy cheaper made products from Amazon that are made in China, which doesn't give one rat crap about pollution or using slave labor to make said cheap products.
We can never counteract the pollution China and other unregulated pollution emitting countries are pumping out with our Green new deals.
We've spent trillions since Al gore cried about it while flying in his jet and what has happened, nothing.
It's like pissing into the wind, but why let a crisis go to waste ?
We are our own worst enemy.

You will need to buy some type of rifle clamp style accessory if you plan on having a steadier shot with any of the tripods.
I use a hog saddle, as it's made out of metal, but there are some other clamps on Egads that are made out of injection plastic and they seem to work well too.
Another nice feature of the trigger stick, is that it has QD mounting plates.
Let us know how you like it ?
-
If on the move and shooting mid range out to 300 yards, Primos trigger stick with Hog saddle.
While it isn't the most stable tripod at full height, it makes up for it in weight and maneuverability.
If you want to make it more stable, you can use a trigger stick monopod under the buttstock.
I later added a bungee cord to secure the monopod.
If sitting in one spot doing over watch where longer precision shots may occur, Night stalker or Bog pod with Acra rail mount.
Once the Apex triggerstick becomes available, I'll sell the Night stalker.

I bought a 12vdc double cylinder china air compressor with adj pressure shutoff on flea bay and it's been working good.
$45 bucks shipped.

"The ruling “destroyed the ability for a governor to be able to protect her citizens from people who carry concealed weapons anywhere they choose.”
Just read that a few times and let it sink in.

Where does man makeup fall on the stud scale? Below Liberace but above RuPaul?
Another Biden Appointee.
It's also well accredited, but who would leave their children alone in a room with it ?
I do like it's shade of lipstick, kinda reminds me of Pete Puma from Bugs Bunny.

That word, "smoked". I don't think you're using it correctly.
Massie: What you're proposing is going to be expensive and difficult.
Buttegeig: Yes, that's why we're planning for it.
Massie: Okay.
You're against paternity leave? How did people suffer due to his absence? The infrastructure bill was passed.
Trump golfed or visited a golf course for 298 days of his presidency at an estimated cost of 144MM. Would you say the people suffered?
Your right, I guess he had to be there to take care of the twins while his husband healed from giving birth.
Just like all of Bidens appointees, their AWOL when needed, or maybe mayor Pete was too busy looking for baby formula that was sitting on cargo ships for weeks to get offloaded ?
You have nothing but bad orange man left in the bag, how boring.

I was clearing trails around the land last weekend and watched a hen fly up into a tree to roost about 50 yards away.
It was almost dark, so I grabbed the thermal to take a look and while I was watching, a poult stick's it's head out from under her wing.
Didn't see any other poults in the tree.
First time seeing a hen cover a poult this way, but I guess when you only have one poult, you keep it close by.

Hey Al. Good to hear from you.
Don’t admire Buttegeig’s studliness. Do admire his big brain, military service and the fact that he talks circles around the idiots on Fox.
Remember, Al, when Trump was having his makeup put on for S7 of The Apprentice, Buttegeig was packing his bags for Afghanistan.
Maybe he is a bit of a stud at that.
You forgot his stellar performance as secretary of Transportation during the Pandemic, taking paternity leave while millions of Americans suffered in his unapologetic absence, but he's gay and a vet, so we'll give him a pass.
They won't have him on the Lib stations, as they can never pronounce his name correctly.

You know,maybe you are right. I think @Shoots100has really been moving further left lately...
I did move left, to hold the door for my wife, then I moved to the right again.
I'm a socially conscience Conservative, meaning that I understand we need to help the helpless(mostly misled democrats), but be fiscally responsible in doing that, meaning we shouldn't bankrupt the country trying to help the helpless.
It's like pulling up to a shipwreck with your boat to save people, then sinking it by saving to many people.
That's what's happening to the SS America now and people like Cheney are only adding to the pile.

She went against her party and more importantly, against the people she was supposed to represent.
She headed up the Jan 6th Trump inquisition as a representative of a state that voted over 70% for Trump, So should we be shocked that she lost by 30% ?
I don't think she's a traitor, I think that she lost her way and the Dems took advantage of her.
Now she'll be paraded around on the Lib talk show's and then thrown into the trash heap after the Dems have no more use of her.
It's sad, but when you deal with the Dem's, you should be prepared for the worst.

I was going to post the same thing, as I haven't seen any of my local bucks for almost a month and all I have on the corn pile cameras are Doe and fawns.
Glad to see that the bucks are coming out of their hiding places up north.

And who's the worlds producer of silicon for those Chips ?
You guessed it, China, the ones who bought Biden.
So we're basically supplying China with all the money they need to take over Taiwan.
So Biden will have funded two wars while President, Terrific and not bad for a feeble old man that's trying to do his best for this country.

Never said I love Biden or hate Trump. I am however, clever enough to see the difference between a decent, if a little addled, old guy trying to do his best for the country
If the old guy trying to do his best for his country includes tanking 401k's, all time high interest rate, having Americans choose between eating and filling up their gas tanks to get to work, Reducing inflation by spending money and hiring 87,000 IRS agents to further harass Tax payers, he's doing an exemplary job for this country !
The issue is that he doesn't know what team he's playing for, but why deal in reality, when you can live in the liberal utopia now and kick the can down the road for the sucker taxpayers to pay for later.
Where's that $52 billion coming from, when America is over 30 trillion in debt ?

True, some heavy socks might do the trick....
Any type of sock will collect leaves, making you noisier.
I use a light tactical boot with a flexible sole, as real moccasins offer no sole or ankle support and will usually leave you in pain after a day of stalking.
I've found that deer don't mind leaves crunching all that much, as the woods are filled with squirrels and other ground feeding creatures making a lot of noise, you just need to keep from snapping twigs and hope the wind doesn't change direction.
I was taught to stalk from tree to tree, using the tree as cover and if needed, as a rest for taking a shot.
Practicing stalking squirrels in September is a good way to get ready for deer season.

This article should be read by everyone that supports the Supreme Court decision.
Maybe when your wife or daughter goes through this you will get it
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHer OB/GYN didn't tell her that NY taxpayers would've paid for her transportation, lodging and the abortion ?
Abortion is still legal in New Mexico and limited in Louisiana, so they had options.
Did the Supreme court stop them from leaving the state of Texas ?
If not, it's the state of Texas that you should have an issue with.
Your brother wasn't available ?
Is climate change just another religion?

Yes, it is a waste of time.
The fact is that those Billions of communists living in socialist countries don't give a rats ass about carbon emissions, global warming or how the planet is doing.
Those leaders are laughing at us for destroying our economy, suffering power outages and losing our super power status over something we cannot do anything about because no matter how much we suffer to make the world a better/cleaner place, it'll never be enough to counteract their pollution output and raping of the planets resources to feed their ever growing numbers.
The only real way to solve the warming issue is to wipe the polluting countries populations off the face of the earth.
We can't do that because who would make the cheap crap to sell on Amazon ?
