He limbered up his 12-gauge and harvested the birds.It was then that he realized the “ thup-thup-thup” exhaust note of the bike without its stock muffler resembled the sound of a partridge drumming its wings as they do during the fall mating season and that is probably what brought the birds to him! Turns out the CT90 can double as a bird call deadly to lovelorn partridge.He added that it doesn’t always seem to work, but even a time or two is pretty amazing. Before he could draw his shotgun from the scabbard, he noticed another bird coming in hot from a different direction. He was riding the CT90 along with an abandoned railroad grade when he stopped to take a look around and left the bike idling.As he sat there, looking ahead for grouse moving along the ground or roosting, he was startled to see a partridge winging its way right toward him.
He discovered the CT90’s deadly secret quite by accident on one of his partridge hunting forays. That’s mainly devoted to hunting the U.P.’s stock of partridge, but woodcock and other upland game birds are in season, too.He said the muffler had rusted out some years ago so its sound is a little louder than stock, but actually not much. The bike is equipped with a scabbard attached to the forks that he slides his 12-gauge shotgun into during “bird” season.
