Aldo Leopold wrote, “There are two kinds of hunting: ordinary hunting, and ruffed-grouse hunting.” Mark Parman distils twenty seasons of grouse hunting in an evocative almanac that chronicles the early season of the grouse hunt through its end in the snows of January. He writes of old dogs and gun lust, cover and clear cutting, climate change, companions male and female, wildlife art, and stumps.

Aldo Leopold wrote, ""There are two kinds of hunting: ordinary hunting, and ruffed-grouse hunting."" Like Leopold, Mark Parman takes to the woods when the aspens are smoky gold. He distills twenty seasons of grouse hunting in an evocative almanac that chronicles the early season of the grouse hunt through its end in the snows of January. He writes of old dogs and gun lust, cover and clear cutting, climate change, companions male and female, wildlife art, and stumps.

Mark Parman is a member of the Ruffed Grouse Society and the Loyal Order of Dedicated Grouse Hunters. He is coauthor of Fat Tire Wisconsin: A Mountain Bike Trail Guide and teaches English and journalism at the University of WisconsinMarathon County. He has written for Sports Afield, Pointing Dog Journal, and other outdoor magazines.
