By my estimation my last 4 pounds of grouse flesh cost about $8,000 per pound after guns, gas, dogs, accessories and I have zero regrets.
Andy, I shared your cost per pound estimate with Elaine. She said, based on her experience with me, you got a real deal.:)

Gotta be a smart shopper Garry. You'll learn grasshopper... :rotf:

I have to agree with you Garry. I would estimate my cost per ounce of grouse to be in the $8000 range. It is worth every dime!

There is a great Jeff Foxworthy skit where he is telling his wife that his deer meat he brings them is the most expensive and fine meat on the market . . . And its all for you and the kids. A little thanks would be appreciated

Use BP inserts and you won’t need to roll crimp.

Next time I'm down there Mike I'll pick your brain on this. I think I tried but couldn't get a good crimp. The roll crimped and polywad inserts really produced a nice pattern but I'm so impatient...
