Out with grouse, in with pheasants
Our PA grouse season ended yesterday and tho it started out well for me, the last few weeks have been very tough. What birds? Besides plenty of exercise I ended with four grouse taken up in the mountains in old haunts and some new search covers and one bagged nearby my home while out for woodcock. Total of 5 which sounds pretty low but from what I hear from dedicated PA grouse hunting friends that's pretty good for this year.
Finished for grouse yesterday morning and then swung to pheasants. I've been hunting this year with a variety of guns to include Fox, Parker, Lefever and Remington SxS's in 12-16-20. Yesterday was 20 bore day and here's a quick pic with two nice ringnecks and a Parker VH along with my straight grip Fox. Our daily limit is two birds; they were taken with Super-X 6's.
Adeste fideles. Merry Christmas everyone!

Pheasants just seem like Christmas birds to me, no matter when we find them. Good luck with the remainder of your season. Carrying a beautiful piece of history like either of those beauties makes a hunt special, birds or not.
