I guess ideally a guy would have a drilling and focus on birds with the off chance of getting a shot at a big buck. That would be paradise.



But back to the original thought....

How many of you guys really anticipate upland bird hunting?


No Pheasants here to speak of.....too fuggin many coons (4 legged) get the eggs first

Pine Hens (Blue Grouse) on the mountain

Dumm as fugg

22 LR and you're done

Iffin you like the taste of a pine/fir cone

Interesting you say that. The blues I have eaten have been the mildest of game birds. More mild flavored than pheasant, comparable to Valley Quail feeding on grain from the hog feeders.
