Pudgy gopher Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I too started out hunting grouse with out a dog. It is a great way to learn about the birds, where they like to be and when they like to be there. Keep at it you will get better at both finding them and shooting. Link to post Share on other sites
Pub Scout Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I can't remember where I heard it, but the philosophy I've adopted is pulling the trigger is the cheapest part of upland hunting. After the dog, gear, upland rig, divorce lawyer and appropriate shotgun so you can join Upland Journal what's a couple of $$ to pull the trigger and let it fly (safely of course). It makes the misses much easier to tolerate. Link to post Share on other sites
ScenicRoute Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 As an update. Had my chokes opened up from extra full to improved cylinder. Haven’t missed since. I’m sure I’ll jinx myself but have yet to pull the second trigger since the gunsmith worked his magic. Link to post Share on other sites

Cwk33041 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This island isnt so lonely after all... My pup has put up grouse and woodcock every trip and I have yet to hit one. I can't imagine what she would say if she could only talk lol. Link to post Share on other sites
