Something with side by side. it just pulls the strings of heart.

grouse breasts, ruffles are white, shaptail on the right side of the plate and on bench, spruce on the left side of plate, ruffles and sharptail are very good, spruce can be a bit gamey,
seen a Whitetail deer threw the scrub, had time to put in slugs in the 20ga, a doe with two yearling's, left the doe and took the second yearling as the crossed a small creek, clean kill, right threw the lungs heart, breaking the shoulder, on the way out. 2nd yearling stopped and debated taking it, mom then stopped at about 50m and snorted at us, could have shot all three with the rifle, sitting in the truck 500m away, Girlfriend was with us, took a day off due to sore shoulder, and we were exploring a new area for grouse. been a good week, got a grouse or two 3 days out of 4, and a deer.

I love all grouse, and I don't mind one bit that spruce can taste like spruce, and that sage hen can taste like sage.

I'm still s sharptail virgin at 75 and was going to have my cherry broken this season, but FJB and his recession changed my fortunes.

Really Like the photos! Thanks for sharing.

A few BOP roosters to wrap up the season with the old man and my son.

What a good day, "big boy" with little boy. Nice

Been getting a few birds this season, in Canada, missed the ducks migration in this area due to work and holiday, so been out for upland several times a week while off, ruffles, spruce and sharp-tail grouse in this area, yesterday sharp-tail hunt came home with whitetail doe, taken with a 20ga slug, at 40 paces. sharptail.
mixed bag, one of each grouse, Buffel head duck and a emacied goose, that couldn't make the migration. little dogs a bit of a savage on upland birds, doesnt care for ducks.

So went stalking yesterday-6 day of day of driven birds today my only one. 13 and windy and wet great day out 55.

Great pics Sideshow.

Lol that was ment to read “My only day out for this year” had a few whiskey after pics from the good wife.

For you Auck/Waikato peeps

Yea looking forward to it, should bang a few down up in Northland. Hopefully we don't have a Karen like last year calling the cops on us!

Just to remind everyone what they look like.

Looks like my parrie hunting spot is underwater.
