First Grouse for my son

[Sportfury]

My son wanted to go on the youth pheasant hunt this weekend, but he had a football game on Saturday and Sunday I talked him into going into the hills after grouse instead. It was a great day and we did quite a bit of hiking putting four or five miles on the boots and ranging from 4300' up to 4700' without seeing one bird. On the way back home when we got a lot lower we jumped three blues and Cody was able to get one.

Great looking bird!

When they're in those berries they're the best eating bird!

That's awesome.  

He must still have football on his mind though.......he's holding it like a football.

Me thinks you may be missing some football games this year.  Great job.  He looks very happy and proud.  He also looks like he is going to be a big man.  Keep him hunting.  That time with him is now.  Football can wait.  You have a great looking young man there.
