Actually, we came upon four on the road, I shot two, the first one flew about 20 ft. and then did the funky chicken right by the side of the road, so I dropped another, one flew away, I put a fourth into a tree but that one flew before I could get a shot, along with two more (a total of six) that were off the other side of the road.... Unfortunately, Molly (my chocolate lab) only managed to find one of the two, I guess the first one I shot flapped enough to fall down the slope by the side of the road, and despite her searching for a long time (and us) we never turned it up.... The one we recovered was a huge female Dusky (Blue) Grouse.... I'm really surprised we couldn't find the first one I shot, it was just flapping away in the grass at the side of the road when I shot the second one.... Since we had Molly with us, and it was obviously not going to run or fly, I figured I had a double for sure....
Anyway, a great way to start the season.... one Blue in the freezer....

I field dress my birds, so there isn't much for photos once I get home.... I'll have to remember to take my camera with me....
