Went out for a drive yesterday to an area where I can shoot my rifle at 500 yards. I counted 21 grouse on a 4km chunk of old road I drive up to the area I shoot. Usually always see a few birds there, but nothing like this. Ruffy's and a few blues at the top.

Took out my .17 on the way back down and bagged a couple for supper.

Anyway, really good to see this many birds.
