The big cock bird reminds me so much of those Appalachian eastern ohio grouse I grew up with. Made me sit and reminisce about the many wonderful hunts back home.

Harold, you are crushing it! The pic of the 2 birds with the Scot hammer gun on the gnarly old stump is magazine cover worthy!! Also deserves a wee dram and a fine imported cigar!!!

Hey Kevin, love to share a Scotch with you, never developed a taste for cigars.
Hope to see you at Hausmann's, actually ran into Ernie and Steve Cobb up here, and Kenny Graft also.. Leaving Friday morning after 23 days hunting, I am bushed! By the way, I'm Scotch/Welsh

Excellent report and great pictures, Harold.
Got any late season Kansas trips on the horizon? I’ll expect a few WV quail hunt reports, too. Keep at it!
