Hi all, in the tradition of last years post by Tim Frazier, I think it's time to start another for this years season. So Lets see your pics.

Today was our opener for Grouse & Huns. I was out with my two sons and our faithful GSP Duchess. A very good opener, we all got our limits. Started hunting at 8:30 and done by noon. Lots of young birds, but a couple older ones. Anyway, on to the pics.

Here's my sons, Jim (left) was using a Merkel 147E in 12ga and Will (right) was using his Sauer Royal in 16ga:



Here's our dog Duchess (she worked great today!!!):



And myself, I was using my 16ga FN BLE:



Good Luck to all of you this year!!!!

Greg

Compared to last years pictures Greg, those boys are growing like weeds. What kind of vitamins are you feeding them? laugh You still didn't change the date on your camera.


Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

Awesome Greg. Looks like you and your sons had a wonderful day. Hunting season opens for me on the 15th and can't wait. Hunting Ruffed Grouse in Michigan. Hopefully, and if I can figure it out, will post some pictures of the 'opener' hunt.


Socialism is almost the worst.

Yep they sure are growing, they'll eat about anything you put in front of them!! Hey, I did get the date changed!!! My son was able to do it, I can't, too stupid, besides my old Brownie never had a date, just needed some flash powder.

Tomorrow, we're going to try around here, got a couple spots that have paid out in the past.

Be Good!

Greg

Hi all, well the boys and I went out today, not as good as yesterday. The wind was really whipping where we were at. They say 16mph, HA! More like 20 to 25. Anyway, we did get some birds and one Hun out of a covey we busted. The guns we used are from top to bottom, 12ga Merkel 147E, Ugartechea 1030 in 16ga and a Browning BSS/S in 20ga. All in all not great, but sure ain't bad either. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Best!

Greg

Hi all, went out solo today and managed to fill out by 11:30, just before the temps got high (supposed to hit 90 to 95 today). The wind was not a factor today, light at about 10 to 12. I was using my 12b F.A. Anderson BLE, this gun was made by W&S and is gun 101 of 110. Nice shooting gun. Still ain't got the camera date right yet!! Here's the pics:

One tired GSP, she worked well today!



Best!

We have been shooting more of these this year, than sharp tails.



The gun is Charles Moore, 12 bore.

Thanks for getting this started - this upcoming weekend here in Mi we'll hit da ute waterfowl and squirrel. May squeeze an afternoon grouse excursion in on Sunday if the munchkin is to tired to continue squirrel or duck hunting. The daughter is just starting to get comfortable with her shotgun, so we'll hit upland hard on the 22nd when woodcock open - they are great for introducing youth to upland as they hold quite nicely for the pup.
