I can hold my own on those birds Gary. It helps to have a good dog of course but it's strictly instinct shooting. After honing my skills on those liitle brown rockets twisting and turning to clear a cat briar bramble it made the transition to grouse hunting that much easier. I really, really miss those days. Walking the fields at dawn listening for old Bob's whistle to locate coveys was a great way to start the day. Even my old pointer Syman would perk his ears to the sound.
