Re: Grouse Hunting

I shoot grouse in California and Oregon. I have yet to take a Blue Grouse. they are very wary. But, I take ruffed grouse with a handgun, a legal method here. I use my Model 63 S&W in .22RF. I uswd to have a good reputation with that little gun, at the range and on grouse. But, since my eyes turned forty something that gun has become less reliable on them. I will probably get a scoped handgun for grouse in the near future, or just pot shoot them with a shotgun.

They are found in cold spots near seeps and springs, with big timber and brush nearby.

They are great table fare, world class in my opinion, but not really a sporting class upland game bird.

I introduced my son to shooting by letting him take them with his 28gauge Ruger Red Label. He takes them on the ground and in the air. His eyes are probably what the little S&W needs to go back to work on them in the style it was accustomed to.

We don't need dogs because so many are taken where they sit. We are persistant in going into the brush for the few that get out of sight.

When we want sporting shots we go after quail. We need a good dog for that.
