I hunted Sturgeon point road out in vanderhoof for over 10 years in the early 2000s it's been exactly 10nyears since I've been there. I miss that place so much.
Great video Ashley. What a great trip you had with your family. A bunch of beauties! Ryan P. S. When r you going to post the video of my duck triple with you Jeff and myself? Lol
Thanks Ryan! Sorry dude the rest of the footage was awful from the rain. Need a better set up for the camera gear to capture duck/goose hunts in the heavy winter rains. Would love to get out with you and Jeff soon to give it another go.
@@highbchunting For sure Ashley! Ducks have been pretty slow so far at the field. We're thinking it'll get better once the tempurature drops and then you gotta come out again.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I will be saving the legs next season as already discussed below. How would you suggest grouse get cleaned beyond that?
@@highbchunting you would love the short story I wrote about an ol trapper.... we met him maybe 50 years ago.... And one day he was visiting our moose camp. We invited him for dinner. My brother said he would cook grouse. We were outside that afternoon, and my brother started cleaning a grouse...same...step on the wings...pull on legs, the peal the breast off. The trapper was pissed, and first words he said..."That's not how you clean a grouse....I'll show you how to clean a grouse" So, the next grouse, he sat down on a wooden block...sipped on his Rum...and plucked the feathers from that grouse...and told us stories...hunting and trapping stories... it was not long, and he had a beautiful little plucked grouse which looked like a Cornish game hen... oh and of couse he gutted it. But, from that day on, we have shot plenty of grouse...and we will either pluck them or skin them... legs, wings (not tips), backs and bones...into the stock pot...breasts..often debone and use in the stew, soup, rice, breast burger 😋... we shoot what we plan to eat... Spruce, soak in salt water for day or two...ruffle or willow.. better bird and often does no need soaking... And that is my story....That is not how you clean a grouse... in memory of Russell Schuler
@@Mooseracks Thank you very very much for sharing this story. Next season I will follow this approach in honor of your old trapper friend and you for taking the time to share your story. I am very dedicated to not wasting the game I harvest and was brought up utilizing the whole animal. I guess grouse cleaning was in my blind spot so thanks for your help.
@@highbchunting And am sure you guys have created many incredible memories through your outdoors adventures...enjoy and share them with others...which you have. I am glad to have met a fellow hunter who enjoys the experience as much as myself and my family.... cheers
Wow, what a great film. Pure enjoyment to watch. Makes me miss my east coast family!
The East will always define where I’m from and has given me so many lessons to draw on as a hunter in the West.

The whole Vanderhoof area has a really special place in my heart. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Haven't seen your brothers in a long time. Nice to see them in this episode. Miss talking about hunting with your old man.
I miss talking about hunting with my dad too. Thanks for reaching out and watching the channel>
Great tribute to dad. You got some nice shots!
Thanks man I really appreciate that.
Great video Ashley. What a great trip you had with your family. A bunch of beauties!
