That is probably the best 1200 you have ever spent.

 :yeah:  Way to go.

Sounds like a great weekend with the family!! Looks like your son is hooked. I'd say that $1200 is the tip of the iceberg.  :chuckle: Best way to spend money if you ask me.

Awesome, the smile says it all. We went out yesterday local in Wilkinson and only saw loads of other hunters. Did some bear calling but didn't see any. We had a great time anyway

I keep hearing about a bad hatch in the Huckleberry, but I have seen tons of grouse this year already.........  The areas around our property is loaded with them it seems, at least until my wife comes over! :mgun2:

I think it depends on the area. There are a couple of stretches where I've shot many grouse over the years and I havent seen any this year so far but I havent been out as much as I'd like. Oh, well we'll give it a shot anyways.

Tell your son that Cathie and I said congratulations.  When I saw the $1,200.00, wondered what part of that Ford went south this time.  Good going.

Thanks Jerbear! All the kudos from everyone have sure put a big smile on his face. Very proud!

Also, found my differential noise.... I think the ford tecnicians forgot to replace the friction additive in my differential when it was serviced. I had them relook, and double check the additive, problem gone...

That' awesome and well worth every penny!  That's exactly how I started out hunting with my dad when I was 10, and well, 10 years later I eat, sleep, and breathe this stuff!!!  :chuckle:
