Mac got his first grouse with a .22 yesterday!

He shot one with a 12 ga a couple of years ago, none last year though, and yesterday when we were out cutting wood he snipered a hen Spruce grouse - body shot at ten feet he said. Man was he proud. Me too!

Mac had that thing in a frying pan in minutes of our return. I had fried some side pork and we cooked it in the leftover fat with some caribou steaks. That and some fresh taters and butter and I was down for a nap.

We get alot of spruce grouse, some ruffies, the rare blue grouse, sharptails in certain spots, and three kinds of ptarmigans. Mostly we shoot spruce grouse.
