grin Years ago a friend told me she heard that sound off in the woods. She was wondering why someone was trying to start their generator half the day and it not starting up.

Grouse are difficult to sneak up on . So cool to find one and enjoy their show.

I burn wood in a boiler to heat my house so every spring I make the next winter's supply. It's crazy how many grouse I've brought right up to my location by running the chainsaw.

On a similar subject, has anyone else ever noticed what I would describe as a "60 cycle hum" while in or near the arctic?

It’s tinnitus.
