Timberdoodles! Late in the evening on our Deer lease they fly out of the woods to land on some of the roads. Very acrobatic suckers will give you a heart attack! LOL Congrats! John
I would that you would have a decent migration there thus time of year.

Great job Pat! Give the lad a fist pound for me, you will have to bring him and the pup up here someday to give him a real treat on grouse and doodles.

Congrats to your son, Pat.
The smell of dead birds and fresh shot shells on a cool fall day, nothing better.

Nice one!
They are such a challenging bird to shoot, we get quite a few over in the UK, if you shoot a left and right you become a member of a very exclusive club in the UK.
The annoying last year was a bird flushed out of a hedge, up went my gun, wood @#)(# down, i waited a couple seconds, broke the gun and stuck another shell in and out came another, boom and i get another, gutted as that was my best ever chance of getting a left and right.
The best advice i was ever given was 'shot em before they shit'!
Cheers

When I had my Beagles and ran rabbits every weekend we would have either Timberdoodles or Quail come up at our feet, I shot out of self defense! Man, we had 23 Beagles and all the River Land to hunt, back then 300 Rabbits was a average season. Best day 42 and a Coyote! John

That brings back some great memories. I grew up in central Wisconsin and loved hunting those long beaks. Many times while hunting in the tag alders, the shots were so close all you would end up with was a beak or wing! Congratulations to you and your son!

Dog flushed 6 today. None hit the dirt... I want the boy to get his fist sooo bad. He got a few shots off thoughIv done quite a bit of grouse hunting over the years and they are really tough to hit.....
I'm guessing a few places do, just not the places I frequent. One of these days I'll get out of my rut/routine...
