MISQUAH — The grouse sheet appeared in the Daybreak’s front window the Tuesday after Labor Day, taped up by somebody who has not identified himself, under the heading GROUSE — WHO IS GOING WHERE.

It filled by Saturday afternoon. Pat Reinholt taped a second page beside it Sunday morning, which is the first time in her twenty-two years at the register that the grouse sheet has gone to two pages before the end of the opening weekend.

“I did not start it and I am not in charge of it,” she said. “I also was not going to let four men stand at that window Sunday arguing about whether there was room to write.”

The sheet is not a harvest report and this newspaper will not be printing it as one. Two entries list a number of birds, one lists a number and then crosses it out, four are the same person’s handwriting and one is a dog, entered by name, with no accompanying human.

The fair ride sheet, which preceded it, matched fourteen drivers with twenty-six riders over twelve days and came down September 7. The deer sheet historically goes up the first week of November. Between them, by Reinholt’s account, the window is empty for about nine days in late October, which she says is the only quiet the glass gets all fall.

Reinholt has one rule about the window, arrived at over twenty-two years and stated Sunday while she was taping: nothing goes up that asks people for money, and everything else can stay until it falls down on its own.
