I have seen blue grouse so dumb in the Olympic National Park, a kid could kill them with a rock. And we ate them.
I have seen ruffed grouse so shot over Near Monroe WA, they flush a quarter mile ahead in the woods. They only chance is to flush them along a noisy creek with a steep bank. They can't hear you coming and they have to fly in line with the creek.
And where there are a lot of ruffed grouse, you have goshawks, that will eat your chickens on the ground right in front of you.

Balltownbob: I lobbied (suggested!) repeatedly and over some length of time for the owner/moderators hereon to "make" another category/forum ("Winchester Collectors Forum") for us 24 Hour enthusiasts to share in/on.
I was VERY happy when they acted on my suggestion and did the work to set-up a Winchester Collectors forum - I think it has been well received and participated in.
Personally I don't care what its called as long as the name is clear that its for Winchester Enthusiasts!
Maybe that would be a better/more appropriate name (Winchester Enthusiasts)?
How about "All Things Winchester"?
I take NO offense when I see a posting that is NOT specifically about "collecting".
I have no interest what so ever in collecting anything named Winchester that was made after 1964 but I have some friends that do so I don't mind those who do.
No offense taken by your "anality".

We could lobby the gov'mint to institute a licensing process for true Winchester "Collectors".
The process could involve specialized training/educational requirements, "X" number of years of apprenticeship, or on-the-job training, and no one would be able to use the term "Winchester Collector" until they met all the requirements and passed several rigorous 8 hour exams.
And, of course, only un-altered, pre-64s could be "Collected".
Then, of course,we would HAVE to change the name of the forum...

Oh, and two more are on the way... really old ones.

I see no reason to change the name. What would be nice to see is that when you get an e-mail to notify you of a response to a posting you only got one instead of every reply. You could open the e mail then look at all the replies, this way you don't have 50 or more msg's in your in box.
