Kind of a special bird, my 12 year old lab Kwik whom I put down a year and a half agos last retrieve, I'm real happy with it, grouse are so tough to get right http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d94/GBJack/03d1950f.jpg
That has to be one of if not the best grouse I have seen done. Only comment I have is it would have looked more natural on a slab of Moss covered log than drift wood. But that's being petty!
wow, that is a beut! I think grouse are the hardest birds to preserve for mounting due to the loss of feathers on the retrieve, nylons are your friend for transporting them. Nicely done!
