Evidence

There are two kinds of hunting: ordinary hunting, and ruffed-grouse hunting. … There are two places to hunt grouse: ordinary places, and Adams County. … There are two times to hunt in Adams: ordinary times, and when the tamaracks are smoky gold. This is written for those luckless ones who have never stood, gun empty and mouth agape, to watch the golden needles come sifting down, while the feathery rocket that knocked them off sails unscathed into the jackpines. — Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, 197
