Hey all, well today was the opener for Grouse and Huns. It was a good day, temps lower, winds not too bad and sunny. We hunted a ranch where we have for close to 20 years now. Some of the prairie has been hayed, but still enough to hunt. We saw more grouse today than we have in the last couple years. Most of the birds were young (that's good!). Took Raina out and she did well, a bit tuckered as she is a bit out of shape, but she stuck with it. I was able to limit in an hour and a half. Got a double out of one group and then a single out of another. Jim managed 1. It was one of those not in the right place and the right time.

Anyway, here's Raina with the days tally. Jim used his AyA 20ga

Here's my birds. I was using y "meat" gun. A Charles Boswell 16b BLE. Two years ago one of the ejectors broke and our own SKB fixed her up for me. Works like a champ. Thanks Steve!!!!

It was a good day with number 2 son. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Best!

Greg

Love those Shorthairs!

My two guys and I will be headed to Montana in two weeks.
Hunting this year might not be as good as last but I’m still going.

Would be hard to top last year. Had one day on private land that I had a limit of Sharptails and Huns by 10:45am. Doubt that will ever happen again.

Hey all, went out after work today for about an hour, not much time to hunt, but I was able to get 1. Saw a few more, but for some reason, they were a bit skittish. Happy with the one!

I used t 16b John Wilkes today.

Greg, being a Southerner who has never hunted up there, is that pinnated grouse (prairie chicken)? Looks to be a pretty big bird.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

That is a sharptail grouse. Prairie chickens (lesser & greater) are different birds. There are a few different sub species of sharptails as well.
