A two hour hunt this morning before temps rose too high. We put Sadie and Pop on the ground in an area we had never hunted. Seven flushes (all different birds) in two hours. A female and a male bird. Floyd's SKB Ithaca 20 and my 16 Brun-Latrige.

Lots of walking but rewarded with a nice male Chicken and a Rooster which was taken in the last few minutes of shooting light. Most of the credit goes to my Springer on the Chicken, she made a great long retrieve after my poor shot and saved the day for me....sure do love her.Tough late season conditions with mud, ice and standing water in places. We covered lots of miles but it was very satisfying. The last Chicken I shot was about 18 years ago.

 A well earned ruff taken in a drizzle near the base of the Black Mountains with an ounce of #6 RST from my 12 bore English box lock.  4hours of hard slogging 2000 ft up and back down only to find this bird within 200 yards of the truck at the end of the hunt. Although we heard flushes during the hunt this was the only bird we actually saw! The above picture was taken near the top.

Sounds like a "standard issue" grouse hunt to me. They're ALL trophies! And everyone "grouses" about grouse....until they kill one.

Don't know why the pics didn't load normally. Thanks Mike for your help. Here is the breakdown of the pictures. Pics 1 and 2 with the pheasant are of an early french, 10 gauge shot and ball gun with Leupold Bernard marked barrels. The maker is Le Faure. This was a lion or tiger gun and weighs 13 pounds. Pic 3 with the Hungarian partridge and pheasant is an Ithaca Crass grade 2 and pic 4 with the sharp tail-grouse is a Nowotny hinge breech made in 1910.
