I haven't posted on here in awhile; not that I ever posted much to begin with but I used to visit pretty regularly. Now I am visiting to see what my call, decoy, vest, and other gear is worth if I decide to sell it! I have only made a few stands in the last (2) years...
My new passion is grouse hunting and bird dogs:
Every one of these birds are a true trophy, and not to mention they make great table fare. The idea that they cannot be raised in captivity - meaning they are as wild as wild gets is intriguing and helps define the type of person it takes to hunt them.
Every now and then we chase the other wild birds of VA as well:
I still got a few buddies that call predators every now and then, so I will tag along with them occasionally. However, I find my self spending my extra time training dogs and scouting for grouse these days. I took this pic last weekend:
I am about to add a second dog, which means even less possible calling time for me and I am ok with that. I used to find my self planning out of state predator hunts, but now its all about the birds...
So if you are looking for a good deal on a call, vest, and decoy - stay tuned.
