These beautiful, award winning mounts, fighting pheasants are just two of the many birds that are on display. These upland game birds are among the most beautiful birds in the world. During mating season, birds become very aggressive and will attack each other furiously. Sometimes to the death!

The Ruffed Grouse is considered the "King of the Upland Game Birds." These beautiful birds are very wary and almost impossible for the average hunter to hit, once they are airborne. It is considered a disgrace to shoot one that is standing on the ground! Yet that is the way most are taken.

In the spring and fall of the year, the male grouse "drums" on a log to attract a mate. The booming noise he makes can be heard from over a half a mile away. It is quite loud. He makes the noise by cupping his wings and forcing air downward and onto the log. The noise is NOT made by his wings hitting the log. Long before man ever created a sonic boom with a jet, this little bird has been doing just that for centuries!

Grouse usually have a "favorite" drumming log and will return to the same one over and over again. Many times at approximately the same time each day. Some enterprising photographers have used this to their advantage to get a picture of a drumming grouse, but these birds are so wary it is still almost impossible.
