There is a particular kind of hunter who understands that the ruffed grouse asks more of you than any other bird — more miles, more patience, more respect for the cover and the dog working it. Pyke Gear was built in Michigan, in the alder runs and aspen edges that define classic grouse country, by a hunter who believed that the clothing you wear into that cover should be as uncompromising as the bird you're pursuing. From the Dakota's waterproof briar-proof construction to the Kiowa's four-way stretch snap-front — gear built to disappear on your body so the only thing you're thinking about when the bird flushes is the shot.
