Took the dog up in the mountains yesterday for a walk. It was a spectacular day, I didn't even need gloves, and the occasional bug was flying around. The dog flushed a grouse, which I shot with the 71 and a round ball load. Saw scads of snowshoe rabbit tracks in the snow, and a fair number of moose tracks. I'll have to remember to take my chains, I could have driven in farther on the two track road if I'd had them. Not much snow, but it was slick enough I couldn't get up a hill to keep going farther in.
Oh well, I had pictures, but they wont load. I'm getting a notice that they can only be less than 1000 pixels wide. My photobucket settings are for less than that. Not sure why they wont load.
Pics loaded here,

Re: Walk in the woods
Me thinks I know that country, by the way. This summer there were goats between the peaks, looked like nannies and kids from below. I am heading up this weekend, need grouse.
