Nice bird, but I seen one a lot bigger a couple weekends ago up here in Maine. I swear that thing was 20in. tall! I didn't shoot because I was too far off and thought it was a baby turkey, but as I got closer I see it was a partridge. I hunt em a lot too. Congratz on your first bird. I've only got 15 this year, which isn't very good for as much as I hunt em haha.
@MrCoonTrapper ha yeah I dont hunt them very often. There isn't that many down in vermont. I know my uncle owns a camp up in Wilson mills, Maine idk if you know where that is. But he sees partridge all the time when he goes up there. good luck to u!
@NateSmead Yeah this is only my first bird.. well shot alone that is. the first year I had my license when i was a youngen, my dad and I both shot a partridge. I shot the first time and he finished it off for me. But this was a beauty of a bird, just the feathers and what not. He had been feeding on tons of buds before I shot him. He had a little salad in his stomach ha.
Love it! I grew up eating grouse! My father called this bird the "The King"...Nice job buddy! You'll want to get more and more....such good eatin....enjoy it!

@trapperman9 Nope, no ideo where Wilson Mills is. Good luck to you also! It'
s all about timing and weather conditions I think. One day, I seen 14 birds on one road, a few days later, none.
