Hi all, went out with my son Will today, was a windy day (25 and gusts to 30), but we managed to duplicate each others bag. We both got 2 grouse and 1 pheasant. I was lucky to get a double on grouse, so that was fun.

We did go out yesterday, but it was next to impossible to hunt, the winds were 35mph with gusts up to 50, really wild!

Anyway, here's the pics of the day.

My birds and my 12ga Buhag Hubertius:



Will and his, he was using his 16ga Sauer Royal:



And....Raina:



BTW, some great pics you guys are posting, really nice!

Best!

Greg

JOEL (J.R.B.) & DOUG (PA24) in beautiful North Dakota shooting Pheasant on Joel's super nice home farm.

Joel shot one bird with his Amantino 12 using Eley Alpha Max 2 3/4 " with 3 3/4 D.E. #4's with fiber wads. Doug shot three birds with his 1925 Sterlingworth 16 gauge using Eley Grand Prix 2.5" #4's with 2 3/4 D.E. & fiber wads. Both shotguns have full and fuller chokes so long shots were easy.......as were short shots.......

We had a ball and there were NO other hunters, dogs, whistles or noise on Joel's farm.....which was perfect. We had a nice Gentleman's walk while we shot Pheasant.

The birds are sitting on Joel's 1941 Chevrolet troop transporter which is really a neat old truck......

Looks and sounds like you guys are having a great time.

I didn't know it then, but this was my last full day of grouse hunting for this year. My right ankle was injured in a fall last November (hunting elk) and after this day (last Tuesday) I started to notice it being a problem again. Off to see the sawbones today, accordingly.

Not a sidelock, and not as colorful as those lovely cockbirds, but a fitting end to an exceptionally lovely trip.



This is what you missed out on James. Maybe next year?



Me smiling!

That is a really neat shot! I shot cowboy action under prop building fronts and I was always awed by the concussion of black powder loads. They made the roof shake.

Nice going guys! Looks like you had a good opener. But it was hot! Anyway Doug, I know Joel and his ma treated you like a king. They sure epitomize what this state is known for. Honest hard work, down to earth kindness and give the shirt of their backs for you attitude. Just plain good folks!

Good show and nice pics!

Best,

Greg

Well Greg, Doug and I had another "Gentleman's" hunt this afternoon. No morning hunt today.

Two birds, one each. Doug's beautiful Dickinson 16 bore barked with authority and I used my old Amantino 12 bore again.







Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.
