Default Grouse mount is back....

This was my first grouse...shot in potter county P.A. november of 2010 I should of had a double but shot under the second bird as it banked left and up...This was the first grouse I had ever shot at. Shot with a Parker repro 16ga. that I had never fired prior to killing this grouse. Its one of the rare 20-16 two barrel sets, DT-PG-SF both barrels are 28" and choked Q1/Q2 Now for the pics...

That's a nice mature bird and great mount , know you just have to prepare yourself for the down hill slide after that first hunt.

Being from a part of ohio that never had grouse within walking distance...never got to see any of them....After a long spell...say my 20- and 30-s I was hooked on chaseing other intrests.....Now im back to my senses...I still live in part of ohio deviod of wild birds. As luck will have I met a very nice man that invited me to come to potter county P.A. for this grouse hunt.....This area still has birds as we did see about 12 birds that 2-3 hour hunt. He has a Gordon setter that is wonderfull, a English setter That is just as good....thay hunt like machines together and I saw the english setter back the gordeon on point more than once...splendid! I was welcomed back to hunt with them anytime and surely will! I lost my family beagle back in october of 2010. I liked Daves gordon so well I asked him to find me a gordon from a hunting kennel...wella it took some looking but I have a puppy...a female that was born feb-5th, I will get her arround the 10th of april. To see a puupy cam of the pups go to www.tamdhusetters.com click on puppy cam They still have a couple pups availible...(-: thanks all SXS ohio...(-:

Nice mount Kenny. Where in Potter county were you hunting? I hunt grouse and turkey in Susquehannock State Forest near Germania.

Cheers
Marcus
