Got out for a hunt with a friend, who is also a forum member (IHunt) for some upland/small game this morning. We haven't been seeing much this year and our goto public forest spots seem to have changed the last couple of years with the number of people using the forest and the number of yote sign everywhere has brought numbers way down it seems. But today was the day the bad luck streak ended LOL. Me and Ihunt put some miles on the boots and we were working a tree row, when Ihunt shouts I think I see a grouse. He then decides he's going to shoot at what he believes is a grouse , but before he can pull the trigger the mysterious shadow jumps up and takes flight and swings around the tree line giving me a small window of opportunity to take a couple of shots and down goes the bird. I know its just a grouse but to me its not just a grouse, we worked real hard for a small bit of success and we were proud of our prize.
