Hunting & Fishing Sharptail Grouse

[DIBBS]

Was out hunting coyotes last winter, and this landed on my hood.

Then last one I killed was at 115 mph with the blue dome on a Vector lightbar.
I was on the way to a rollover crash with 3 teenagers trapped in a burning car.
Hen lifted off from the right-of-way and smacked pod #5, then ricocheted into the radio antenna and bent it all crazy, smacked rear window leaving feathers and blood.
Kids got out of burning car and survived. Hen did not.

Great picture!

They do stupid things until you have a shotgun in hand.

I'm pretty sure some of these little bastards can smell gun oil 10 miles out....

It never ceases to amaze me how when it isn't hunting season I can take the dog for a walk (with a jingling collar) and we jump deer and grouse constantly. Hunting season rolls around and they turn into Harry f**king Houdini!
