Sorry to hear about the tag soup, that bites, but at least you didn' t settle for less than what you truly wanted. Happy to hear about grouse limits and trout,way to go!!! As for the blackie, I' d guess around 650+ range. I' m probably off somewhat as I haven' t been around them much in a number of years.

Keep your chin up, a LOT of great hunts still end up as " tag soup" , trust me, I' m a true chef of tag soup.
