Nice colors of the Swedish fall, Pinetrees mixed with all the leaftrees makes a nice palette.
In this pic Pejo is standing right were i shot the Black grouse it was resting in the pine marked with the red ring laser ranged to 196 yards.
Me and my friend Pejo headed north on Wednesday morning for some Capercaille and Black Grouse hunting, we had a nice day even though the dog Miska didn´t get the birds to sit long enough for us to stalk them. Instead we hunted for resting birds in the treetops wich was really fun, im a little ashamed to tell that i had a low accuracy for the day with four shots fired and only one Black Grouse on the ground. But now i know my rifle even better (my new .222) as we had a hard time getting close to the birds sitting in the single trees left on the clearing made by the logging company. First shot was a beginners mistake as i didn´t catch my breath before shooting and a miss at 110 yards, second and third shot was made at 274 yards also missed and was by far the longest shots i ever done on a grouse(bird didnt budge until two shots were fired then it flew off). The fourth shot for the day hit dead center at 196 yards and a Black Grouse was in the bag (Phew!!) it´s not shown very well in the pic but it´s hanging from my backpack, i was pleased cause overall that day i saw more grouse than ever before and we are going back there after the Moose hunt wich starts next week.
