I will have to look, my dad made sure he was loaded up on goodies when he left the plant a couple weeks ago. Got me a nice selection of gloves.
Yeah the ones we have at work are tactile ones not very much padding. I use them so I don't get nailed by chips when I set up the okks
The grouse in my photo was much bigger than any ruffed grouse I've ever seen or held... I just went and Googled and found a female dusky grouse that looks a lot like it and fits the size description. Maybe??
That's probably it. Looks like a match to the one in your pic.
Says global glove but unfortunately made in china
go figureAttachments
If they all behave like that one I'd hunt them with my S&W .22 revolver with a 2" barrel! No need to lug a shotgun around... or a dog!
Found some River Birch today…fairly large trees taken out for a housing project…piled up next to the road.
some of it was RTB so I cut all of that. The green stuff weighed 4x the dry
burning some now… seems to be about the same as Cottonwood.

Even more fun when you're on horseback.I call those scare the crap out of ya's
I'll pass on that, as I have no good relationships with any horses lol.Even more fun when you're on horseback.
A good horse wouldn't care as they would probably know about it, but an untrained one wouldn't be fun at all.
Not that I even know how to ride other than in principle, but I've been to one or two or a hundred shows
, if it wasn't for a cute little girl riding there I wouldn't have been there .
Yep, and when he gets caught up he'll be half a day ahead of us lol.
Thanks I'll take a look for those I bet most if not all are made in china.
I know absolutely zero about horses haven't been on one. Was on a sled one time pulled by them but that's it. Knowing my luck it would come out well. I think I'll stick to self controlled vehicles without a mind of its own...well I guess nowadays cars can be that way too.I'll pass on that, as I have no good relationships with any horses lol.

you should see the kitchen counter! but doubt i will be canning any this season... those are Big Beef's... a more full flesh-type tomato. i do like them...
'no ****!'... i was riding my bike yesterday and a group of about 7 or 8 pigeons had nestled in and around a tree down by the ground. and i guess i got too close to them as in just a flash they all took off and up higher into the tree. gabboling and wobboling like crazy.I call those scare the crap out of ya's
>I call those scare the crap out of ya's

I've been trying to figure out what happened to all the grouse we used to have here, and I've concluded it must be one (or all) of the following, but none of the folks at NYS-DEC will give an opinion.
1) Lyme disease
2) Coyotes (we have lots of them)
3 Birds of prey, especially Coopers Hawks (they are all over the place).
I remember deer hunting with a rifle up at my property and seeing 22 grouse come out of one hole, but that was a long time ago and I have not seen anything like that since. It is now very rare to flush more than one at a time, although 2 por 3 sometimes happen. I remember when 5 was not all that unusual.

The primary problem is the loss of habitat... not only to development but to the maturation of the forests. Ruffed Grouse need a variety of conditions... grasses, high stem count brush, small trees and some nearby mature trees. Early successional forest is the big thing. Most of the woods I go in now are like parks--almost no understory with a relatively dense canopy. We need more clear cut logging of sizeable blocks. NYS DEC announced a Young Forests initiative for state Wildlife Management Areas at the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the Rugged Grouse Society banquet in 2015 as I recall. https://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/104218.html We need more private forest owners to engage... contact RGS or Audubon Society for help with a management plan. Hint, as soon as someone starts talking selective cutting you know they aren't interested in the health of the habitat!
