I sure like to hunt grouse with a black powder shotgun. But I am the first to admit, its hard to do. Especially without my old early warning system. Sure miss that dog.
It sounds like you had a lot of fun. I might have to break out the shotgun this year and do some shooting. I have been hearing a lot of grouse in the woods around the house. Might be fun to plant some lead seeds all over the woods.
Nice looking bird there. Good eating too!
