Shaun_300 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Here's 3 more for ya's. Got this one Saturday morning, decided to go for a ride in the truck and saw some nice grouse country, got out and went for a walk and this fella crossed my path and hopped up on a log, perfect headshot with my trusty Remington 812 20ga. Later that afternoon my cousin Chris and I headed out to chase a few duck ponds. We were walking into a pond and a grouse walked onto the trail, blasted him, continued walking towards the pond and got to the point where Chris and I split up. Chris walks around one side of the pond and I go down to the end of it where there's a dam. When Chris gets to the far side he'll fire a shot and chase the ducks straight to me. Anyways, I tell Chris to give me 10 minutes so I can get to the dam, start walking, didn't get 30 yards from the pond and I hear some rustling in the leaves. I look over and there's Mr. Grouse about to take off, he hops up on a log and that was his last mistake. Got a load of steelshot #4s from my Remington 870 Wingmaster 12ga. Two birds within 5 minutes.

WaCoyote Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Another 3 grouse Great job!!! Thats good looking country!! What do they eat up your way? The crops on mine yesterday were all full of clover and snowberries. Did you happen to look? I'll tell you what, if you have any roads with clover on the sides check those about 1 hour before and up to sundown. They love that stuff. I'm half temped to buy some seed and scatter it myself.

Shaun_300 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Another 3 grouse They eat hawberries up here. Basically if there's hawtrees, there's grouse. That's my favourite place to hunt them except for getting caught up in the thorns! I didn't get these ones in the hawtrees, they were walking around on the ground so they were probably into the wintergreen berries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Another 3 grouse Really? They grow on hawthorne trees, and they have thorns on them about 4 inches long that are just like nails! Here's a hawthorne tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaCoyote Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Another 3 grouse Thats funny!! I've never heard the term hawberry but we have a lot of hawthornes around here. Makes sense though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve [/ QUOTE ] We didn't end up hunting ducks, with all that shooting that close to the pond, they would have high tailed it out of there because they'd think World War III started.
