5 SHOTS

I decided to hunt birds again this year. I haven't hunted birds for about 25 years now because I don't cook and nobody seems to want them. I finally found 6 sharptail grouse, and watched where they had landed. 2 flew way off over a big hill and 4 landed on the side. I grabbed my shotgun and went for a walk up to the area where the 4 had landed and as I got close 3 took off. I pulled up, fired, jacked a second round in, lined up on the second bird, fired, jacked a third round in and realised that I wasn't sure if I could have 3 or 4 chickens. As I brought the gun down, I saw  the fourth bird take off, and the first 2 laying there. I was a bit overjoyed when I realised that after that long, I had fired 2 shots and gotten 2 birds. I think my dad would have been proud. Sorry about the cell phone pic.


sometimes I wonder....is that getting closer..... then it hits me

I had a personal conflict the other day, now I'm not speaking to myself.... I'm getting lonesome

I met the girl of my dreams, I was the man of her dreams too.....she used the term "nightmares" though.

I find them to taste more like pheasant than a ruffie. :shrug:

I don't know about that Barry. I always thought they tasted more like a bird of some kind.  :laf:

 Funny you mentioned that. :laf: :laf: If the buggers are in certain plants they can certainly take on a different flavor.

Are you sure you wrote that right? Is it them in certain plants or you in certain plants?  :laf:

That looks like a lot of fun.  Its been a while since I went quail hunting and that sounds similar except no dogs.  Congrats on your birds.   :congrats:

Thanks everyone. I think some people use dogs but I never have. I did try to get my dog to hunt with me but she was more interested in chasing them. She did reteive one, kinda sorta, she got almost back to me and it fluttered a little and she dropped it. Then she went and found the other one. Never having hunted over dogs, and her never having hunted birds, all in all I think it went pretty well.

So how did they taste?


I don't know.....I'm still working on courage enough to try cooking again.  :innocentwhistle:  Besides, I haven't had a chance to notify the fire department yet.  :shrug:  :biggrin:
