Upper Midwest Bird Camp 2026
I was on the road by noon. 17 hours straight through and I got home about 4am MST this morning. Didn’t hit any deer or elk but one kamikaze jackrabbit got me in the Walden area. From our limited few days of hunting in MN, we definitely thought the bird numbers were down. We hunted many of these...- TheGreek

Saturday morning was the last day of grouse camp. I was up early. My buddy bowed out of the last morning on account of a sore back and a limping dog. I made my way out solo in the overcast and very warm temps. The first covert revealed no flushes. The second covert produced two flushes and I...- TheGreek

A slow morning of grouse hunting here in MN. We only flushed three grouse but I managed to kill one so I can’t complain. The lab retrieved to hand so that made it even better. It was 65 degrees by 11am so I spent the afternoon driving down to Ballistics Products Inc outside of the twin cities...- TheGreek

Ticks!!!! Having not ruffed grouse hunted last year, I made the mistake of not showering after hunting yesterday afternoon. Dinner and drinks and then the dog came first and then it was 10pm and I went to bed. When I woke up this morning and went to shower, I realized that I had three ticks...- TheGreek

Today, the Fox spoke and the grouse listened. Overall, it was a relatively slow day of grouse and woodcock hunting. We only flushed 6 grouse and 7 woodcock. We only shot at two grouse. However, I was able to kill both the grouse I shot at and one woodcock. My buddy bagged two woodcock as...- TheGreek

Made it to MN this afternoon and got into the grouse woods by 4:30pm. Creed said put me in coach, so I pulled him off the bench and into the first covert we dove. 10 minutes into the first spot I let the Fox speak and Creed had his first grouse. I thought I killed it stone dead but when he...- TheGreek

The morning hunt in ND was a bit of a bust. Hit our best spot and didn’t put up a single bird until we were almost back at the truck. Half dozen got out from much thicker than normal cover, right next to corn. I had one fair shot at a bird in range and promptly missed. Hit another spot down the...- TheGreek

Bird camp is set in ND. Enjoying cocktail hour after a slow afternoon of hunting. We hit two different spots and flushed two birds in one and three birds in another, but all the birds flushed well out of range. We had another 4 sharpies fly over us driving into a spot so a total of 9...- TheGreek

Last day of pheasant hunting in SD. Morning started hot and heavy. I killed three roosters in the first 15 minutes, including a double, but couldn’t find the 2nd bird of the pair. After the first morning push, things slowed down. We ended up with 11 roosters and 1 sharptail for the group of 6...- TheGreek

Dog came up lame this morning. I’ve got it narrowed down to his right front pad, and the right side of his right front pad. Went through it pretty good but can’t find a thorn or burr lodged in his pad. He’s gonna stay in the box today and get a rest. We’ve got a lot of hunting left in front of...- TheGreek

Today was slower than yesterday. 5 guys hunted and we killed 11 roosters. But I killed three and shot well so I ain’t gonna complain. I made one good shot on a rooster in front of the whole group which is always fun. Definitely shot better today than yesterday. The dog also had a couple good...- TheGreek
