The last day of my pa'tridge hunting forays for the season ended as memorably, yet not with the excited anticipation, as the first day. It was among the best upland seasons I can ever remember - not for the number of birds bagged and not so much for the numbers flushed for certainly the numbers are down. It was, instead for the memories made; the times we had - the countryside we tramped and admired, the covers we hunted, the shots we took at birds as well as the shots we took at each other - all in good fun... all in good cheer. The indoctrination of a fine young man, Danny Suponski, into a man's world playing a man's game with all the seriousness, determination, self sacrifice and self-abuse of knowing the job was done and done well - the job of grouse hunting and all that goes with it. Welcome to it Danny, Welcome!
Remember, a pa'tridge huntin' gentleman can rise a little later . . . but not THAT late

Here's to next year

Last picture taken on Sunday. I tried a dozen times last night to include this picture in the above past but just couldn't make it happen.

The boys I know over in Canada that go to moose camp every year call them Road Chickens. You get away from civilization a bit and apparently they actually still exist in some numbers. They all carry a shotgun on their 4 wheelers and shoot them off the sides of the trails for camp meat.

P.S. to Fred: Where did you get that family photo of mine? I want it back!

I think I detect some good natured scarcasm here..And thats fine. If this thread seemed a little over powering I apologize to those offended.No matter what type of hunting we engage in its all good. I was just trying to share some wonderful times that my son and I spent with good friends. Again if this thread was perceived as a boast...it was not mean't to.

Dave,

You all give me hard time about my hat, and I in return, give you a hard time about this phantom grouse obsession. It's all different strokes for different folks, you chase after your passions and I'll chase after mine.

Apparently I'm A$$hole of the Week here on the BBS so everything I say is being taken the wrong way. Maybe I'll delete all my posts saying I'm gone forever them come back in three days and act like nothing happened. That seems to work for some......


Best Regards,
Destry aka The Alienator

Fred,

A fee???!!!! For a picture of my own family???!!!! That's my great great great grandpappy Cletus Q. Hoffard and his brothers Sirus and Obediah. They were all preachers of course, pillars of the community just like my whole family always has been.
