You only shot one box of shells during the entire grouse season? I shot a box of shells over last weekend at ducks. Grouse hunting is interesting to me in that it's not really hunting, it's mostly just a lot of walking carrying a gun. LOL

It's not about the shots or birds bagged. ANY excuse to be in the woods with a good dog and a fine gun is reason enough and it sure beats a treadmill in the exercise department.

As I've gotten older "being there" has become pleasant for sure, but I'd still occasionally like to shoot at something flying by. I've carried a gun for grouse two times in my life and still have yet to actually see one alive. I killed a duck the first time I ever went, I think that speaks volumes. Heh.....

This trip is right around the corner! Is everyone else as excited as I am? Mills, do we need to do anything as far as a Georgia hunting license, or are we covered by Morrison Pines? I'm headed out to Vegas for the Antique Arms Show the weekend prior to this trip. January looks to be a promising month already.

Mike, an earlier post explains that a preserve license is $12, available at the club. By the way, Rich, who made your 2" 16s? Are they RSTs?
