What other birds do you hunt?

[idgobble]

I have an English Pointer and a Pudelpointer (google it). Both very good.  We mostly hunt chukars and Huns with quail and pheasant hunts whenever we can fit them in. Been hunting chukars for 35 years and they're my favorite bird to hunt and eat. I live in a NW state where we also have very good grouse hunting and I usually hunt them early in the season before chukars open.  Our grouse are Ruffed, Blues, Spruce and Sage.  Sharptail hunting is pretty good about 200 miles from where I live but the limit is 2 a day so I don't often go after them.  Maybe take a 3 or 4 day trip for them every few years.  I try to get the dogs out hunting at least 50 days a year.  I'm starting to research a bobwhite quail hunt for next Fall.  Maybe CO or Kansas.

I'd stick with the #9s

I want to shoot one with 410 using 9.5 Tss

May want to rethink that Greg. I watched an old boy take on an emu in hand to hand combat. It didn't turn out well for him. Alcohol may have been a factor.

I enjoy bat hunting in the summer over the swimming pool with my red Ryder B.B. gun.

I've always wingshot. Where I live most of the stuff is propagated. Pheasant, quail, chukar, have shot huns, over my shorthairs and waterfowl of varying sorts but that's been a couple years. One time I was way into it though.
Wish we had some ruffed grouse in the state anymore. Haven't seen one or heard one in years. As a kid they were everywhere. Loved hunting them. Greatest upland bird there is!!

No Happy, everyone has said if you shoot it with Tss , it don't even flop ...It's like hitting a bird with a 50 caliber round...

I hunt a lot of wood ducks on the home farm.snd Canada geese at times. Small creeks with irrigation ponds make great jump shooting for ducks

Maybe so but that poor, unfortunate fellow that tied into one was wishing it didn't flop. I for the record was completely sober but found it extremely amusing. That bird opened a semi truckload worth of butt woopin on him.

One of my greatest pleasures is hearing Ruffs drumming while on my Spring turkey hunts.  I've even watched a few drumming and was thrilled one day to have one walk by me, jump up on a log and start drumming.  I moved a little, he noticed, stopped drumming for a minute then started again. I hear them almost every day in a few places I hunt. I grew up in VT and loved hunting them there.  I'm surprised how many there are in the NW.

I'm getting myself a pointing pup this year come hell or high water. Final candidates are a Brittany, GSP, or a English Pointer. Leaning one of the latter two. Couldn't be more excited.

God bless ya! Wish they were here

Dusky grouse (blue grouse) in September, scaled and Gambel's quail November into January, ducks in January.  KS pheasants once or twice a season.  Grew up in western Massachusetts hunting ruffed grouse (partridge there) and woodcock.  Miss that.
