I Shot My First Bird Today!

[Mattthescreamer]

I just had to share this with you all out there. I just picked up my small game license on Friday and shot my very first partridge today. That's a H&R single shot 20 gauge in the back.

Congrats! Some fine eating there, and welcome to the bird hunting world!

Cheers

Nice to see a local guy on here. I was itching to go out this weekend but it didn't happen. Good looking ruffed grouse, definitely good eating. Nice shotgun too.

Congrats on your first bird, they are good eating.

It was my first hunt as well and 22 years into hunting I still have a special spot for grouse hunting and do as much as I can... Congratulations... Enjoy the feast... It just doesn't get better... I like mine wrapped in bacon and served with a side of garlic butter...

Ruffed grouse are good eating, but I prefer partridge even more, if you are fortunate to have them in your hunting area.

Congrats on the grouse! If you don't want to roast it will the skin on the easiest way to clean it is to stand on the wings and pull the legs, then cut the wings and feet off. They are great table fare....enjoy!

Nice bird ..... congrats, was he on the fly or sitting ? Either way that's some good eating.

Nice 1st bird, we have some fine hunting opportunities in NW Ontario. Just wait for the excitement when you find a group of them!

Looks just like the first game I ever took. I used a 16 ga single though! I recommend wrapping that guy in bacon, as someone else has already mentioned.

 

[muckwa]

Congrats now since that's your first make a fan out of the tail feathers and keep as a trophy.

Man I missed two grouse this weekend. My mouth was left watering without much to fix it.
