So while out on our yearly elk hunt the day was long and the elk weren't playing. So on a draw we were working, sneaking through the brush we catch movement out of the corner of my eye, as I slowly turn my head in that direction I see it... and it see's me, and the little guys start walking away from us, go over ahill and we pursue! As we spread out ready for them to flush i hear the twang of my brother in laws bow, and then flapping..... I run over to where he is and he proudly lifts up the first thing he has ever killed with his bow! A nice plump dusky grouse!!

We were packed in to an area, and only had raman noodles and freeze dried food. So we clean this bird, get a fire going and have some fresh grouse that night! Nothing better! Mmmm....

in my opinion grouse is the best bird meat! i love the stuff! it was taken with a longbow too! when i get stronger im gonna switch to longbow and let my compound rest for awile!

haha I have actually been thinking of switching to a compound! Just not sure if I can afford one right now.

That's awesome!! Tell him congrats!! that's quite a accomplishment to get one of those buggers with a long bow!

Thats great! Tell him Congrats!

Hey what kinda longbow do you have? I have a compound and I wanna switch to a recurve or longbow.
