December, 1922 
that jumped out of a windfall without 
the dogs warning. The best bird-shot 
in the crowd missed another that looked 
easy to the rest of us. This was in light 
timber. Then for an hour or so we 
tramped over scrub, waist high, burnt 
over barrens, scrub oaks high as one’s 
head, just rolling country, and saw no 
game until we made a swamp, with a 
high, thin growth. Here we raised 
three woodcock, killing one. I claim 
credit absolutely for saving the other 
two. I think I missed all three, really. 
There were no grouse in this swamp so 
we crossed another barren of waist-high 
stuff and jumped a beautiful doe which 
cut away over the bush from not inore 
than thirty yards start. On previous 
trips ten years back we heard constant 
rumors of deer. This time we saw one 
or more of both sexes each day. 
The black and white setter made a 
beautiful point. A hen grouse raised 
about fifteen yards ahead of her and was 
shot and retrieved in great form. This 
dog had a great nose and would hold 
stanch as a granite house, if not too 
close on the bird. If one kicked off un- 
der her nose, away she went on a wild 
chase, then came back for her licking. 
So far Jane the Airedale had just 
been along. The first day the setters 
were so wild her owner kept her in very 
close so she would not interfere with 
them. At home she had worked ring- 
necks some without a gun, but as yet 
had not been working on grouse. She 
now made game and began to trail, her 
boss right at the stump of her tail, care- 
fully as though walking on eggs, through 
the scrub into a bunch of evergreens. 
The gang followed, begging her in three 
languages to have a heart and go easy. 
Where mere man must walk around she 
slipped through, with only the tinkle of 
her bell to tell where she was. Then 
that stopped. We lined up around the 
clump and called to her to come on. 
Then the bird buzzed. A chap on the 
outside killed it. 
On order Jane walked in, mouthed the 
bird gently and told us she knew all the 
time it was her job to find, and ours to 
catch ’em. From then on we “left it to 
Jane.” When she made game, we took 
notice pronto, and gave her a chance to 
prove out. She could not wind a bird 
under quite as difficult circumstances as 
the setters. They occasionally came in 
and made a point ahead which she re- 
spected. She trailed up skulkers, found 
dead and caught cripples, required no 
stick work and little wind. 
No set rule covers a grouse’s action. 
Some raise way ahead out of sight and 
sound. Some kick off right under the 
nose of the dog. Others run ahead to 
heavy cover, and either fly or wait. 
There is nothing sure about ’em. One 
bird in particular played a funny stunt. 
The English setter came to a point at a 
clump of dead chestnuts. Her owner 
called to his partner on the right to walk 
on, thinking the bird would drive better 
from that side. It towered up through 
the clump and not one of us standing 
in a triangle around the clump got a 
shot. We marked it down in a swale
