Ruffed Grouse

[choo-choo]

 The New York Outdoor News printed a photo I took this winter of a Ruffed Grouse in full display and strutting in the current issue.

They are really neat and beautiful little gamebirds and super explosive on the flush.

Congrad's on getting your pic published. I would have shot it right after as they sure are tasty.

Great photo of one of the most challenging birds to hunt.

Great pic. They are real show offs and when they come out of the pines they can scare the crap out of you too

  Nice pic, used to love hunting them but didn't get many. When I did get one I figured it deserved it for scaring the crap out of me!

Cant beat a pointer for grouse, problem is they are (grouse) so few a far between in WNY. Great pic!
