There is a particular kind of hunter who knows the ruffed grouse demands more than any bird in the woods — more miles, more patience, more deference to the cover and the dog working it. Pyke Gear was built in Michigan, in the alder runs and aspen edges that define real grouse country, by a hunter who believed the clothing you wear into that cover should be as uncompromising as the bird itself. The Dakota's waterproof, briar-proof construction. The Kiowa's four-way stretch snap-front. Gear built to disappear on your body, so the only thing left when the bird flushes is the shot.
