More power to ya!!! I was out with the 16 Nitro, WASP gun, I suppose, and missed a nice grouse that Miss Louie pointed. I couldn't see the dog, it is hard to find her in a snow storm, but, I knew she was there. I just walked a bit too far past her, and the bird exited from behind my right shoulder.
The birds must not get much pressure on my old stomping grounds, they have been holding for nice points.
Hard to shoot grouse in a snow storm, too.

Best,
Ted
