I was hoping a certain someone on here would respond considering he used to live in a tipi and take 3 weeks trips, spends alot time in the woods probably got some good animal stories. But I'm not gonna mention any names.
We saw several grouse when we did the Mahoosucs in September 2020. Some flew off in a flurry. Others quietly walked away on the ground. One hopped up into a tree right on the trail and only about 6-7 feet up. Got some really good pictures, and one of our group TOUCHED it!
