Grouse hunting in the afternoon, 2 shots fired, all birds surviving

View attachment 155708

Walked about 8 miles of exactly this on Saturday, North of Cumberland, with a friend of mine before getting rained out. 12 birds flushed, 1 shot taken, no birds were had. Grouse hunting is tough without a pointer. Still better than a good day at work.
 
My little boys and some of their cousins caught enough monarch caterpillars on G'pa & G'mas "farm" over the summer for everyone's household to raise one. Took about 2 weeks from cocoon to wings, but the transformations themselves, once begun, (we were lucky enough to catch them both) took less than 30 minutes to complete. Nature is wild!

Sweet! Milkweed is the ticket when wanting to attract them.

That is awesome. I just showed my daughter your photos. This is now on our list of projects for 2021.
