Since my brother vowed that he would never again subject himself to the indignity of being filmed, I guess I would have to impose on you to be the focus of this episode. People knowing where I came from, or maybe better put, the stock from which I came, could be a risky proposition for what little public image I might have. I can't imagine the stories that would be told during an "open mic" session at the Powerhouse.
If nothing else, I am sure some of the folks at the Ruffed Grouse Society would blow a gasket when they saw me lining up on a partridge atop a stump, drawing a bead with my 28" full choke 12 gauge, decapitating the bird at 45 yards with a tight pattern of #5 lead, and causing the bird to spin in fast circles with his last gasp of air. Though that would imply I am worried about folks who get worked up over hunting the way I grew up doing it - Not.
I'll give it some more thought. The first week of October is open on the schedule, at least as of now. That would be the best time to chase partridge, assuming a cold frost has removed some of the leaves by then. Not sure what the populations are in the cycle of birds at this time, though wet/dry cold/warm spring will have a big influence on that.
If we film it and we sloosh limits of birds, I hope the boys don't get mad at me for showing the world some of the best grouse hunting in all of North America. You will be inundated by the grouse junkies, following such a display on TV. The only saving grace is that the type of facilities the grouse nuts of the world expect are in short supply in the vicinity of central Kooch County. Such dearth of refined establishments could keep them at bay, and is exactly what makes it such a cool place to call "home."
I really am thinking about getting a good camera and trying to film some of my kids hunts. They're young enough that I'm with them anyway and the hunt is about/for them.
