Milrob, fantastic. I grew up in Minnesota hunting "partridge" with my dad. I want to get back there with my 16 BE. Jim

Beautiful! I shot my first grouse this season too. Unfortunately, I shot it in the arse so it only had one tail feather left!!

Very well done!! Who says you have to use open chokes for forest grouse? :D

Thanks guys. Might be tough with the forest grouse without spreaders in this gun.

Jim, If you ever plan a trip let me know. Gladly take you out to some of my spots and I would love to see your 16 BE.

Nice work!

Does this mean you won't be springing for that restock?

Nope. Just enjoying the gun in the meantime while I stash away funds.

Way to go, Milrob! What a nice dog. When does Ruffed Grouse season close? Jim
