foxhunter Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yesterday evening saw me and Ratcherman out for a wander on his patch with shotgun and .22 rimmy. We passed a stubble field with a few pigeons and rooks on it , so put out a few decoys but we had no hide and just had to try and conceal ourselves at the edge of a wood. Anyway we got a bit of shooting before the rain descended. We then drove to another farm and managed a few bunnies with the .22. On the way I called in to see a landowner who has a little piece of ground and secured the rabbit shooting there . As we drove down the driveway there was a fox in the field just sitting watching us. So not a bad look out , a mixed bag and a little bit extra ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the more I study it I think its a female Black grouse as its plumage is a lot lighter than that of the Red grouse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the more I study it I think its a female Black grouse as its plumage is a lot lighter than that of the Red grouse . Thats a cracker but it is quite strange as a female blackcock is a grey hen & in the name they are quite a grey tinge plumage & are quite a big bird. Your bird has me stumbed from the pics as in the first pic i thought it was a gray partridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
