Paatti- I really enjoyed your pictures - especially your son holding the duck. our Franklin grouse look very similar to your black grouse- colour and re-eye patch, but our's don't have the white feathers and are a bit smaller.
: Is the meat dark on your black grouse? Our Frankins are also called Spruce grouse, as they eat spruce needles. I don't shoot them and I'd just as soon eat spruce needles, but many do.
; The pictures showing your surroundings, bush, property etc, could be anywhere around here as well - virtually identical.
