Dreaming of Grouse

With grouse season almost here I’ve woke up the last two mornings dreaming of flushing ruffies from my favourite hawthorn patches. For now my pictures and memories from last year will have to hold me over. Good luck in the coming season and cheers!

Was out to my Deer stand yesterday and flush 4 grouse, never seen grouse in that location before, hopefully a good sign.

For me Grouse play second fiddle till the woodcock are gone then they really shine.

I’m excited as well. I’ve gone over my gear and organized and reorganized my things just to pass the time. I love upland all season, but late season is my favourite. Nothing beats a long hike on a crisp cool sunny day.

Weatherby Upland I believe was borrowing a friend’s gun that day. I shoot a Winchester ranger 120 and a rem 870

Same here, I prefer the late season but there’s no way I’m missing opening day!

Yes, picked up a 20 g o/u Bettinsoli last year, love it. A delight to shoot and carry. It’s on one of my pics.

Thanks.
$1500.00 from Dante’s.
Epps also sells them, but Dante’s had free shipping at the time.
