LOL

Joe you cracked me up, I was thinking the same thing but didnt want to say it...

LOL, I'm just the hunter/gatherer, the wife's the cook and I'm not about to tell her she's doing it wrong. Besides that I wouldn't know a good wine from a cheap one, after the first chug or two they kinda all taste the same.

Only a few more days! I'm excited. Have a new pup that I've been working with for the last 9 months. Excited to get him out. Also picked up a BPS Upland Special for this year. Last bird I harvested last year was with a High Standard D-100. Not the finest choice, but you gotta use what you got at the moment.

Beats a rock LOL!
And it looks like it worked.
I like those BPS Upland Specials.
Nice find.

Struck out today.

Blowgunner · Sep 3, 2016

I struck out as well on Grouse today. Chased a couple for what seemed like a mile before loosing them. Did manage to jump shoot 3 quail while crossing a clear cut.
Will try again on Monday.

We went up to try out a place today for deer and grouse.
Deer was a bust as there were too many people up there.
So I had to get rid of some coffee and everything started moving. 6 grouse! I yell at my buddy and he gets out with his bow. Hey it will be fun!
I zip up and grab my bow. And we start slinging arrows.
2 clean misses then I hit a tree right by the grouse.
The my friend hits it! Perfect shot.....or not.
The dang thing flew off with the arrow thru it's middle
Dangdest thing I ever saw
Oh yeah the rest just ran off

Went out on the first and yesterday.
Saw one and heard a few but the one I saw took off at like Mach 3 ... LOL
Nothing like grouse hunting to remind you just how out of shape you are ... LOL

Shotgun- ground sluiced the first and then the second on the wing.
As I was heading to the first two the third rose up,,, they'll taste great tomorrow for supper!

Yeah, I wished the weather had cooperated but we do live in the PNW.
Awesome job of producing vittles for the clan!!! Good to meet you and your Mrs.

Finally took one home for myself tonight. My new hunter has taken a few. Up until now I have passed so she can get some experience. She was unable to go with me this evening, so I have dinner for tomorrow evening.
