[QUOTE="blountcountyboy, post: 2238380, member: 1883"] The year that I turned 17 my parents finally let me travel "off" to go hunting and in that one year I killed 69 grouse and I'd hate to even guess how many quail. I hunted every day that I wasn't in school, after school, or holidays. I hunted Scott, Hawkins, Claborine, Sevier, Newport (don't know the county), Blount but, Big South Fork had more grouse than any where I'd ever seen. One morning I turned out my dog to pee while I was getting ready. I noticed that he didn't move for a good bit and he was pointed. 4 grouse came off that flush and even chasing the singles I never lost sight of the truck before I had my limit. That wasn't the norm. The craziest place that I ever killed a grouse was in the middle of a hay field. Coming back and my dog pointed in a fence row. Talk about surprised when a big ole grouse came up. I haven't killed a quail in 5 years and that one came when it hit my windshield on Foothills parkway. There was a grouse nesting in the 13 acres of woods in our pasture field. I guess she hatched them off or atleast I hope so because she was just gone one day after watchin her for about a week and there wasn't any feathers like she was killed or crushed eggs. Matter of fact there were no eggs so I wondered if she ate the shells like a chicken will but, I don't know. I always stop and listen when a grouse is drumming. Something absolutely beautiful and amazing. ... By the way, I saw 6 grouse in 8 days of hunting during the last bear season in Tellico. [/QUOTE]
