My hunting buddy and I have a mason jar on the fireplace mantle of his cottage. We place a grouse tail feather in the jar every time we are fortunate enough to bag a grouse. There are a few with a little piece of tape on them that record special events such as a dogs first grouse, or a guest hunters first grouse. The jar has filled up nicely over the last several years and it reminds us how fortunate we are to be able to hunt these wonderful birds.
