A quick update from the opening weekend of grouse season, some out takes from Pyke Upland Kickoff, and a story from Guy de la Veldene.

A small episode about being safe and courteous this hunting season.

John and I kept this conversation short and informative about projects and progress in Michigans grouse woods.

There is a new hire this year at RGS and its Zach Evans filling a FCD position for the eastern Great Lakes. We keep it pretty well focused on RGS and the progress made on the large Federal forest systems here in Michigan.
