You need to learn how to throw rocks. You haven't had the primal experience of your life until you have killed one with a rock!

That looks like a pretty nice SxS but that Weatherby name like it is just turns me off. I didn't know Weatherby made any shotguns much less a SxS with double triggers. If they'd change that name on it to script and not fill it with gold and somewhat smaller that would really look nice to me. Like I said, Really nice looking except for the bill board on the action!My first ruffed grouse of the year and the first bird killed with the first SxS I've ever owned
I've wanted a SxS for some time but couldn't find one that fit naturally. Ran across this Weatherby Orion 20ga sxs and immediately knew. View attachment 341171
While we're discussing mtn chicken...
1. Has anyone seen/hunted grouse in the Wheeler Peak wilderness? and
2. How weird or not weird would it be for the recurve to accidentally get packed for a trip in a few weeks and for that recurve to accidentally maybe get brought up Wheeler Peak on a 'summit attempt' with ~10 ladies on a "girl bonding trip" to maybe thump some duskies on the way up/down....
....asking for a friend....

It will be potentially very weird up until the moment you prepare the grouse over an open fire and they bite into it. After that point, they will all be bringing a bow on such a trip.

Personal taste is certainly that, personal. I've always felt a person should stay with their own likes when buying. For this purchase fit and function was what mattered to me, as is often the case when I buy outdoor gear. I'd have bought it if the name was in neon pink spelled backwards & upside down.
Have a great season!
I got a hun with a hefty stick while packing out a mule deer in the Little Belts. Still can’t believe it. Grouse would be far easier.

Took my uncles on their first grouse hunt, they each got at least one. My 89 year old uncle who I had concerns about went up and down the mountains like a champion, and looked good doing it!

He says the key is never getting lazy, getting up and working every day. He still raises goats and hay. He will outlive all of us!

Can anyone tell me what plant/berries this is? Found a fair amount in the crops of Sharptails in ND.

And here’s a sharptail crop loaded with creepy crawlers. The spider we pulled out was enough to give me the Willie’s. This was all from a single crop.
Looks like Snowberry. Birds like them but they are toxic to humans.

Killed a grouse with a bugle tube once.

Yes. Snowberries. Sharpie candy.

I wonder how many elk have been shot with dumb-dumbs by dumb-dumbs who carry dumb-dumbs in their dumb quivers.

I'm sure it's happened. I carry a completely different arrow and I stick it in my side pack pouch next to the bugle tube... just to be sure I'm not one of the dumb-dumbs
