If you've got birds and I can stay in your house as far as I am concerned she can read "The Thoughts of Chairman Mao" at breakfast every morning and my room can be papered in pictures of Barack and Michelle.
When it comes to bird hunting I am an open minded kind of guy.
So, when does season open?

We do have plenty of grouse up here, hopefully plenty more if it is a warm and dry spring. But its much worse then you imagined. Maya Angelou is required reading at our household and its pictures of Michael Moore, Ralph Nader and Racheal Maddow all over the place, but if you can fall in line like any good liberal, come on up. October 1st is only 7 months and 14 days away!

Another good use for a .410.
I'd recommend you and Joe take up shooting .410s with full chokes. If you need some shooting instruction for the .410 , I'm available for a phenomenal fee. I've seen you shoot. If I paid you $1, including your expenses, you would be phenomenally overpaid.

Mike, I understand your problem. You might have only a problem with word meaning. Your term, "rise" , actually means birds flying before you shoot. I think you might be thinking the term is "after you shoot". Lots of gravel can be kicked up with shots on the ground , giving a pretty good chance of hitting extra birds with shrapnel. I know your dogs are super and hold birds still for the hunter, but just wait a bit until the birds flush, and you will never have a multiple bird drop problem

Tell your sweety my favorite is bacon, biscuits and gravy, with three eggs over easy and that if she accidentally breaks a yoke not to worry as that is my second favorite way. Also might want to get any heirlooms out of our bedroom. The puppy is still in that chewing stage.

Time to move on Mike and Joe, the party, as the song goes, is over!!!! Its time to trade in those high grade doubles and get yourself some proper waterfowling guns.

Daryl I would never shoot a bird on the ground. Now Joe Wood, that is another story. Until he started hunting with me he didn't even know a bird could be shot in the air. His eyes got as big around as saucers and he said "How'd you do that!"

Will do Mike. I think Rachel is kinda cute too in a dorky hot chick kinda way. In addition to the Bourbon, bring up a recipe for biscuits and gravy as well. We don't have to many southern recipes here. I'm sure your 5 Brittanies will get along just fine with my dog. He's a big friendly fellow, and loves to flush birds.
BTW, for your own good keep this trip on down low, you might loose some stars if you let it be known we hung out and shot some grouse together.

Treb the trouble with waterfowling is that it is cold, wet, cold, wet, and cold and wet and when you get done your have one of those waterfowls you have to clean and eat.
Mike/Skeet I am more stable off my meds than you are on yours.
NCA what are a few stars compared to several weeks of free ruffed grouse hunting, free shotgun shells, free room and board and free in-house kenneling?
Now I've helped y'all I can today. I am taking Miz Ruth Anne bird hunting tomorrow and have to get busy getting everything ready.
Best,
Mike
