Grouse are such different birds in different parts of the country. I've seen the youtube videos of people walking down dirt roads and plinking them with a .22! Around here...grouse are as spooky as deer! Most times you only hear a flush and never even see the bird much less get a shot off. With a dog, they flush even further ahead. Very hard birds to get around here in NH. Even still, I did get one last year and it's mounted on my wall. It's a cherished trophy because they're so hard to get. Someday I'd love to hunt an area where the grouse are more cooperative...they really are an incredible game bird.
