Thank you gentlemen. Get this done while you are young and able, lot of walking involved.

This is a hard hunt which I would not recommend to someone who is out of shape. I have seen only a handful of Capercaillie pics with hunters from Stateside.

@Kamo Gari
Benelli 12 Gauge at 40 yards.

Here is another trophy bird I collected on this trip....Black Grouse !!!
They have the most amazing tails with opposing "J"-shaped feathers.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

@Norton
They had two birds at the cabin mounted together (very poor taxidermy) doing a face-off. I will see if I remembered to take a pic of that.

@Kamo Gari
Drooling will start when you see the hens

@Goldeneye
That is a sweet video. I have not yet decided how to mount the Caper as I saw them doing some pretty crazy stretchings and poses. Will keep you all posted.

Here is the hen Black Grouse.
