Hunt the Habitat

#5 Not all Aspen cuts are created equal. Puppy tips for grouse scent

Aspen cuts, a common practice in forest management, have varying effects on game birds. Join us as we uncover the impacts different Aspen cuts have on Grouse and why they rely on it for habitat. All Aspen cuts are not created equal. Hunters need to know the age of the cut and fine details to determine the quality of the grouse hunting ground. Understanding information like the correct stem density and canopy height also are important.  Hunt the Habitat explains how it all works together to help hunters locate more birds. 
Young pup training tips are also in this episode. Grouse run so to a dog their scent comes and goes. You must instruct young pup how to keep relocating the scent. They must learn to be cautious to successfully work grouse.
Finally, we have an update on the development of grouse chicks in the Northwoods.
