Too windy to fish ….so….

Hi all, 

Yesterday was just too windy for fishing, gusting to 65kmh, and the wind direction was all wrong for my shore spot so went 30kmh north of Dryden for some chickens around 2pm. I saw five and got five in an hour and a half, got home before dark….perfect.

Wow, nicely done. I’ve tried my hand at grouse hunting in some of the Wildlife areas around Peterborough and could swear they are the most elusive prey man has ever stalked. Spook at the slightest sound or sight of you around here. Makes me want to try again though. What gauge and choke you using?

It’s a cheap $160 .410 single shot break action I got for my son a couple years ago at Cabelas, not even sure what brand. I think it’s fixed full choke, it works though. I waaaaay prefer fishing but the bird hunting here is so easy most days, something to do for a couple weeks after putting the boat away, once the snow flies it becomes a lot like you describe about Peterborough, they are elusive at best.

Great way to spend an afternoon and good shooting by the way.
