Quebec Grouse! (pics)

Well guys got back from Quebec a week ago from our nine day moose hunt. Downed a cow and her two calves. Anyway, there are juts TONS of ruffed and spruce grouse all over, they stand in the raod, they don't fly and if they do its only like 5 metres. We shot them all with a 410 relocating from spot to spot for moose, and I shot one spruce female with my slingshot and a ballbearing, their just THAT dumb! Ended up with only 22, last year we got 33. smile.gif

Awesome! I never realized how beautiful grouse really are! Do any of you know where they can be found in SD? I have an old 1936 bolt-action .410 among my shotgun collection that is aching to bark.

The ruff grouse are typically woodland creatures. I don't think they inhabitat open prarie type land. Could be wrong about that.
