10yo got his first Grouse yesterday!

[Linked Image]

Was trying to get the 8yo a shot for his first blood, since the 10yo had taken a rabbit already...

We saw plenty, but the 8yo was hamstrung by a misfiring 1915 single shot Iver Johnson 410, and probably buck fever! (I have since diagnosed the problem and fixed the old pop-gun!) He had 2 misfires and 2 misses.

Finally let big brother have the shotgun seat and he took this bird off a tank trap mound with his 20ga at about 35 yards.

Saw 6 birds and one bunny, frustrating day for little brother! Will go again tomorrow weather permitting.

Got out again today. Saw 8!

10 yo got one and missed one.
I got one because 8yo didn't see it.
8yo missed two.
3 others managed to get away without a shot.


Here's a pic of the 8yo after he knocked a couple feathers off.

Here's how close that one was (fist sized shot pattern, that was his excuse anyway!)
