Photo Blog: Minnesota North Shore Winter Grouse Hunt

Here are some photos from a grouse hunting trip near Tofte, Minnesota that included some shore hiking and hiking up the Devil Track River near Hovland, Minnesota. Our winter wonderland did not disappoint. The black labrador hound is Duke, my faithful companion for 13 years. Winter is paradise in the North if you know how to make it work for you.
