Grouse Galore!

[35 Whelen]

Just an update on New England bird hunting. Seams to be alot of native Woodcock around. Patridge numbers are down, but with good dog work, it's still possible to have a great day! 3 limits yesterday.....

Looks good. My girls are still recovering from surgeries. Stitches in for another week. Then we get to start Chukar and Pheasant hunting. That gross looking mass weighed about 1 1/2 pounds from Miss Sugars armpit. Molly had some smaller non carcinomas removed since we were there kind of thing.

Wow. That looks like a great haul!

 

[Guy Miner]

Excellent!

 

[DrMike]

Oh, my, but I do love ruffies; they make such fine meals!

We use to have some great Ruff grouse hunting till the younger generations started selling of the home steads and now all we have is overcrowding from developments and resorts where the gen x can run their side by sides racing threw the mountains and old farm steads.

Our bird numbers are way down this year...the first year of low population of the 7 year cycle, after several very good years...
We spent the day out last Monday cruising the backroads and trails looking for birds...we saw 5 and came home with a ruffie, a dusky and a spruce hen.
Still, a great day in the woods, as we also saw 2 very nice bull moose cruising for cows as the rut is starting here.

Very nice. That is a good bag for a day's hunt.

Can you slow simmer woodcock and partridge in gravy and serve over rice?

 

[JD338]

One of my favorites is partridge and woodcock with wild rice!

Fix chukar and Huns that way. It’s excellent.

I am addicted to chicken rice.

Grouse has always been the best eating of the game birds around here. But I shoot a lot of chukar and quail too! Good work Earle.

Very nice. I can’t remember the last time I jumped a grouse. Never intentionally hunted them, but used to bump them all the time.
