Purina Joint Care

June 6, 2023 by Ruffed Grouse Society

Cambridge Dictionary defines a joint as “a place where two things are joined together.” In terms of your hard-charging sporting dog, think how important the knee, hip, ankle, shoulder, elbow and carpal joints are to his or her performance and comfort day in and day out. And factor in the pounding those respective joints take year after year.

The Skunk of Sault Ste. Marie

June 5, 2023 by Ruffed Grouse Society

by Rob Seilheimer I’m in the Upper Peninsula with three buddies. Red, yellow, and orange leaves descend upon us like raindrops falling from the sky. Ruffed grouse and woodcock are what we’re after. Every year, we make the drive from Indiana and cross the bridge. Trolls are what they call us. I’ll happily own that title. Also, a quick note for all the troll brethren, it’s a pastie. Pronounced pass-tee, don’t get it wrong, or you’ll be laughed at by every Yooper within earshot. Pastie shops are the Starbucks of the Upper Peninsula, minus the multibillion-dollar industry and lattes; they have one...

RGS & AWS grew in many ways, and we were excited to expand our team this year! In June, several RGS & AWS staff met in Pennsylvania for an outreach and chapter engagement trainings. They also joined the local St. Mary’s/Upland Bird Hunt Chapter for their Future Hunters & Handlers event. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday and I want to highlight some incredible things happening at RGS & AWS. It has been a year of growth for us and I have been so impressed by how our team has navigated growing quickly, learning new skills, and working together for the future of conservation....

Most Wednesdays, as we stepped off the school bus, our family’s chestnut-brown station wagon was running, and she was waiting at the end of the driveway. My mother, Nancy, was a high-strung lady who had little time for lollygagging, especially when she had a...
