He has shot blues before in the fall.  In fact a blue grouse was his first game animal.  he and I mounted it for our man-cave.
would love to see them drumming though...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

How awesome - to bag a Blue Grouse at that age!  In Pennsylvania you can't even hunt until you're 12 years old - and here he's already out there bagging game, years before he's 12!

Yeah, even here in this state when I was a kid you couldn't take Hunter's Safety until you were 10.  Now they dropped the age requirement, so as long as you can read and comprehend the book and the test, you can take the course.  He took it when he was 10.  Has harvested several grouse and his first deer, a 3 point mulie.  I have the "grinning trophy shot" of him with that blue grouse too.  I'll have to wait til I am back on my office computer before I can post it.  It was a huge bird, almost the size of a pheasant.
