Experienced hunter Byron Grubb with his black labrador retriever Danny out on the North Dakota prarie grasslands, shooting upland game birds such as grouse near Minot, North Dakota, United States. Byron has been shooting for most of his life and puts considerable efforts into his hunting, efforts which reward him with wild game meats, none of which is wasted. This cold wet morning is not ideal for this type of shooting as the birds tend to sit tight in the undergrowth. The hunters on occasion nearly tread on the birds before they will take flight.
