I think we have a new grouse hunting convert. He shot 2 more over point Tuesday, and 2 more today plus his first Woodcock. And here I was worried he wouldn't be able to hit one.

That son’s shining pretty brightly Harold. A chip off the old block?

Great day to end the trip. After dalliance with a Uggie 28 and a long barreled hammer gun , went back to the VHE 20. Shot birds over all three dogs. Leaving for home in the morning.

I sure wish we had more red/brown phase grouse in my area.

I wanted a red grouse also but it seems you get what you need not what we want.
Congrats nice pictures. |

Harold: Nicely done. I too have a VHE 20 on an O frame that handles like a wand. Gotta love em. I sure wish we had grouse here. I understand we did 100 or so years ago.

Harold, congratulations on what appears from your reports to be a great trip. Recruiting new hunters deserves special recognition.
So...will you go back this year as you mentioned earlier?

That is going to be weather dependent Garry. Last year there was no snow in mid-December. I would really rather go back up there than go somewhere Pheasant hunting
