I'm already dreaming of warm September mornings and evenings, the feel of a shotgun, the smell of burned powder, an explosion of feathers and the taste of blue grouse fresh from the pan...
:yeah:

Bang!

HA!
That girl is gonna fatten up nicely by fall.
Great photo, BTW. I plan on doing a little wildlife photography also this summer. Grouse make great photo ops because they're so stupid sometimes.

I got out to try and get a pic, all of a sudden momma exploded out of the bushes 3 ft to my right, she did a semi circle around me with some violent wing flaps and next thing I know chicks and momma had all disappeared. It was wild

You're damn lucky she wasn't packing a gun!

Post by: Buckewe on August 04, 2017, 03:07:15 PM: I can't wait. I finally found a good spot last year and knocked a couple down. Now it is my new favorite meat. Got a trip with my dad planned since he hasn't been out grouse hunting in a long time. It's going to be a great year.

I wish my dad was still around, because I'd turn him loose with a far better shotgun than he ever owned. About three weeks and counting....
