				Still at it
			 
			
			We had our first snow and the grouse were all over the place sitting in the tops of trees out of the snow. Hard to hunt them when they do that but fun sneaking up on them.

			Thats for sure = I take the dog but its still a supprise. Those stupid partridge are the ones I can't get a bead on. Plenty of them around and just can't hit them.

			Chukkar do the same thing around here.  I've come close to soiling myself a few time flushing one in a bush right next to me.  Sounds like a damn F-4 taking off

			The  ones  coming out  of the trees are a bugger  to  hit.  They  come  out  going down, and  sometimes climb  back  to level, and  sometimes  keep  going  down until they're skimming dirt.
