Jeff · September 23, 2004, 10:40:05 AM

Well, I feel bad that I was not on top of this as usual and have a contest or something going. Been preoccupied with other things trying to get things done around here that I can and be ready for October 11th. I will be having Surgery that day and wont be able to do much for the following 3 months. (I can hang out here alot though!

)

I promise to have a couple celebration contests or something between now, and leading up to Christmas.

Now, first Person to Tell me The Skipper's and Professor's Charactor's given names from Giligans Island wins a Forum Turkey call! ;) (ya gotta have both right, so be careful about posting it if you are not sure)

beenthere · September 23, 2004, 11:27:42 AM

What time of day will the Turkey call? If I enter, and win, I might not be home. ;D

MULE_MAN · September 23, 2004, 11:45:35 AM

SwampDonkey · September 23, 2004, 12:49:35 PM

:D :D :D

I've watched those old reruns for years and I never knew their character names and tried to remember their real names, but too short a memory. :D :D

Congrats Mule Man.

hmmm I wonder if them turkey calls are good for coax'n in the spruce grouse. :D :D Them darn things are so tame that shooting them should be outlawed. I just saw one yesterday too, nice fat feller with his bright red eye brows.

cheers ;)

MULE_MAN · September 23, 2004, 01:16:38 PM

Thanks Swamp Donkey last year when we were Elk Hunting in Colorado
We had a few grouse for supper, Yes and there awful Tame !

redpowerd · September 24, 2004, 03:33:04 AM

Quotespruce grouse. Them darn things are so tame that shooting them should be outlawed.

its outlawed here in the adirondacks, swampdonkey.

happy birthday forestry forum, im going to celebrate by welding on my mill all day with my friend whos home from iraq!

SwampDonkey · September 24, 2004, 03:48:22 AM

I haven't shot one in 25 years, once I found out the meat tasted like spruce needles and the fact there is no sport in it. Reminds me of that bird (the dodo?) they slaughtered to extinction.

Good Morning Forestry Forum!!! 8)

redpowerd · September 24, 2004, 04:00:41 AM

never tried them myself, but ive heard much of the same, tastes like the forest floor. strange that something that tases so bad and is so docile would have such limited numbers in the wilderness. i think it may have had something to do with the eggs, but not sure. looking for the book with population #s, and other facts pertaining to my area.

im partial to the ruffed grouse anyway, they actually fly away! :D
tates great, to boot! ;D

SwampDonkey · September 24, 2004, 04:09:06 AM

VvVLLLLLLL as the ruffie takes off... ah ya missed :D :D

Yep we hunt them here to, but I haven't even shot one of those for 10 years. I don't hunt any longer. Also this time of year grandfather would hunt woodcock to, in old fields. I never ate woodcock, but ate lots of Ruffies.

sprucebunny · September 24, 2004, 04:30:04 AM

Happy Birthday , Forestry Forum

It,s more sporting to hunt those Spruce grouse with rocks like the cave men!! I got one that way and ate it but only once. I'd rather chew spruce gum.

redpowerd · September 24, 2004, 04:40:28 AM

rocks? :D
cant you just walk right up and step on their heads? :D

Norm · September 24, 2004, 05:56:49 AM
