Occurred on October 14, 2017 / Bowlus, Minnesota, USA
Info from Licensor: "Bob and I were in the woods on my parents' property. My parents had informed me earlier about this grouse that follows you and is very friendly. Bob and I had met it on an earlier occasion but did not expect it to take such a liking to us. We were up in my mom's deer stand bow hunting, and I looked down to see this grouse coming right to us. It climbed up the ladder, one step at a time. When it reached the top it flew up to the rail on our stand and sat there. It ate our trail mix and began to crawl up on us to perch. It stayed with us the entire time we were out there. When we came down from the stand, the grouse waited for Bob to crawl down. It flew down and sat on his shoulder. It followed us where ever we went. It now will hope into Bob's hand and let him carry it that way."
