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...

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

Wish I’d used that strategy.

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...
