Grouse Display

Haha, I did have to make something once with no moving parts, I know, it doesn’t happen often.  I guess looking back that made me happy.

My friend was wanting to display a carnivore tribute to living and eating wild and therefore in his rugged and manly way he wanted to display this male prowess, lol.

So I made him this.  I don’t know if that is how it’s typically done, was all new to me.  

It was a great use for some interesting curly redwood, just enough for this project.  A little Pau Amarillo down the centre of the bracket livened it up a bit.

Pretty sure buddy’s new girlfriend had him take it down and lovingly helped him put it in the garage, lol.

Cest la vie.

Thanks for looking guys!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Remember hunting grouse as a kid. Get close enough with the shotgun so I don't miss and that sometimes would be all that was left.

Made me smile Kel!

Splinter you using a 12 Ga? My dad hunted quail and pheasant years ago used a 20 Ga.

Yep, had grandads old single shot 12 ga with full choke, Probably had #6 or #7 shot.

I just remember walking miles through the woods trying to locate the buggers.
Haha, ya, my Dad used to call me Hawkeye cause I couldn’t see them even when 20’ away, lol.  Good times!

Is this what happens when one uses a gun that is far too big?
I have seen many turkey feather displays, but on grouse ones.  Don't know why.  Those feathers a just a pretty.  That a great way to display them also.  Very unique.
Hey thanks Scrappile!
