9/27/11- Grouse season is here! It has been an interesting season opener as many of the roads are closed in St. Louis, Lake and Cook Counties. There is an abundance of Conservation Officers around making sure that hunters and campers don’t wander into any dangerous areas affected by the fire. With road closures being revised constantly, new areas for hunting are opening as the roads re-open. Those who are fortunate enough to be in the area when the roads open are guests to prime grouse hunting. We at Sawbill are among those fortunate people. So fortunate, in fact, that we have planned a grouse feast for crew member Tyler Campbell’s 23rd birthday. -Luke
