Briar Scratch Grouse School
by William Crisp
After decades of pursuing grouse, I have learned to instantly recognize prime grouse habitat from miles away. I have located prime briar patches at 55 mph rolling down freeways (easy) and from Boeing 747s at 5000 mph (still easy); it’s what I do. While some poor guys are good at recognizing prime investment opportunities, formulas for great inventions or ways to win wars, my gift is grouse finding patches. I hate to brag but I feel sorry for those other guys.
General Schwarzkopf may have seen the route for the “Hail Mary” flanking maneuver that quickly ended the Gulf War, but if I was there, I would have been able to point out key grouse coverts on the way.
