    Beautiful color in those fall woods. Great time together and some good shooting! Nice pictures. I've only been out for squirrels so far.[​IMG]

    Was up in the mountains yesterday. The supposed target was Chanterelles but since deer, bear and grouse were open we also took our deer rifles and a 22 rifle for grouse (you can hunt forest grouse with a rifle here). So it was an armed mushroom hunt! Only saw one grouse that was far smarter than us. No deer but got about a gallon and a half of mushrooms each. Hard to come by this year. When I had a dog I hunted ruffed grouse with a shotgun a lot. You did well and it looks like you had a great day afield! I truly miss squirrel hunting those frosty mornings in Georgia in my youth. The pictures brought good memories!
