I love these types of threads! Get to hear hunting stories without the comercials and magazine advertisements! For my information, there was a thread posted by another hunter from Maine a week or so ago about hunting partridge, but his pictures sure looked like ruffys to me. Do you folks out in Maine sometimes call a grouse a partridge? Thanks for the story.

They are indeed Ruffed Grouse but a lot of Mainiacs refer to them as Patridge.
Picher, glad that you and your son had a great hunting trip up here! The bird count was suppose to be up this year. I wouldn't know though because I lost my AWESOME 4 year old German Shorthair Pointer, named Ike, to coyotes this spring. It's been a sad lonely bird season without him. I can't even pick up a shotgun and go for a walk, just doesn't seem right without him.
Hope you come up again next year and hopefully you'll have better weather!
