I broke my ankle during bow season, so I can't get around alot. I live in east Tennessee and love to hunt these Mountain grouse! I have a 3 year old german shorthair that is doing very good on these nervouse ruffs. I just bought a 6 week old male shorthair from a good friend of mine, can't wait to get him started. My hunting friend and I are looking for a place to go in october to do alot of bird hunting. We have only grouse hunted but would like to try any upland bird hunting. Any advice on where to go to hunt? I dont want any guide walking with us, and want to use our dogs. Private or public land, dont matter to us. We went to wisc. last year for 6 days and had a blast, no guide, just a map and looked for good grouse cover and hit it. Somewhere kind of close, under 20 hours from east tennessee.
