Great pictures

The birds were brought here about 50 years ago I believe, trapped in Michigan and imported. No one hunts them with dogs, they think Chris is crazy. They shoot them on the road sides with .22’s and ground swat them with shotguns.

I keep looking at those great photos. Interesting country, and I see the frost has not burned some of the ferns yet. I also like the interesting tree (we have lots of tree pictures among our hunting photos) and the interior shot with the grouse hanging outside the window. Nice!

everything ive read said that this isnt a viable strategy. is this documented anywhere? does anyone know more about this? Turkeys have been widely redistributed like so but apparently not grouse.

looks like beautiful cover.

Aaron, Missouri relocated grouse. Where they still manage habitat for them, there are birds.
