Man I have never seen such fast birds.We have a dog that retrives. She is 12 and a good dog. My dad and I shot two grouse.

2 grouse is good shooting......I love hunting the little rockets, but its tough to find good cover around these parts

Yep, they're a blast. Literally.

I took a buddy for the first time once down on our lease in Morgan county. We flushed 8 or 9, but never got a shot. The best flush jumped up from under my buddy's boot. I heard it, but never saw it. He looked at me, eyes all big and said "What the F was that?" I said "That's what we're hunting, why didn't you shoot?" He said "It scared the crap outta me."

Welcome to grouse hunting.

Getting 2 your first time is great shooting I grew
up hunting grouse, and no, I still can't hit most of them LOL. They can humble even a good shot real fast !!

I have probably shot at least 200 or 300 grouse so far in my life and i think 2 were flying. They are so dumb here(overconfident about how well their camo works) you literally can't make them fly. For that reason i hunt them with a bow or a .22 most of the time now. Usually a hunt is short, you walk until you see a group of them, open fire, get one or two, the rest fly into the nearest tree and you limit out on those lol. I had no idea you had to wing shoot themin most places until a couple years ago.

We have some great grouse hunting here but thier habitat is getting smaller all the time. 2 birds is a good day with those speedy things1
