Title: Wyatt and his first couple of grouse on opening day.
Post by: Todd Rahm on August 16, 2009, 11:12:57 PM
Took the lil feller out for a couple of hours on opening day and he took out two sprouse grouse, and I took a third because he couldn't see it.  :wink: Prior to the hunt i tunred him loose with the .410 and a paper plate at about 20 feet, to warm him up. He made me proud and did a good job.

Nice work Wyatt. :wink:

Todd, you getting that camera is the best thing I ever see happen to a person.

How long have I known you on the dang internet? 6?, 7?, 8? years?  And no one ever seen a picture posted.

C'mon...get out there and snap some more now. :wink:

Thanks fellas.


That lil smoke pole he has was given to me by my Dad when I was 8, and this year I'm passing it on to Wyatt. (Insert teary eyed smiley)  :biggrin: That lil .410 killed a LOT of critters for me over the years, and I hope Wyatt gets just as much use out of it too.

Yeah, they are good eat'n. A kinda red meat when cooked just right is awesome. I didn't figure Wyatt would want or let alone like it after he saw me clean'em, but he did and wants to go get more this week off. I already told the wife we had to go because it was in my Dad-Manual.  :readthis: :innocentwhistle: :biggrin:

Wyatt,

Congratulations on the grouse.  I have seen flashes of them a few times while squirrel hunting in southern Ohio and they are fast and know how to quickly fly behind trees.  They are a difficult bird to hunt.

Great pictures, something he'll remember a lifetime.  Some of the best times I had in the field were with my kids, first dove, first quail, first deer.
