Nice mount Kenny. Looks as big as a pheasant that way!

Kenny ,Great mount,every Grouse is a real Trophy ! WE sort of have the same taste in mounts ! This old girl in the second picture is the one that pointed it !She is near 15 years old here and pointing a Chipmunk in the yard , the Grouse was taken her first year of hunting !

Brush buster....great to see your post...(-: My bird was shot over a Gordon setter, a well polished 4 year old. I told the owner that I wanted a gordon to replace my beagle of 15+ years we lost last october. I was serprized how few hunting kennels have gordons. My mentor will train me and my puppy, Dave was very particular of the kennel and history of the parent dogs. After several disapointments we found a femail puppy with a excellent background...yip-EEE We will get her this april 10th. Gordons are top grouse dogs when properly trained and allowed to hunt. They like to range and don't like a short leash. I plan to get a GPS collar so not to let her or me get lost. Next year I hope to hunt Kansas again. If all goes well I will get some quail to be mounted. A three bird rise would be nice...(-: I thank the Lord for all his blessings every day! thanks all SXS ohio.

Kenny I am sure April 10 ,can't come fast enough ! Really take the time and enjoy your new pup ,there is nothing like starting a new pup and all the years of enjoyment that follows a well trained Bird Dog ! Russ
