POLL: GROUSE! GROUSE! GROUSE!
« on: June 19, 2012, 08:14:57 AM »
This not a new topic, but a new thread.

Where do you prefer hunting grouse...down low for the ruffed grouse

or

Up High for the blues? 

Explain... show images...KILL THEM ALL, LET THE CHEF SORT THEM OUT!

Up high for the blues!!! Why? Because there's no better way to spend the day in the mountains.

I grew up grouse hunting, high, low, and in between, rifle, shotgun, pistol, and bow.....  :chuckle:

Nice wall bear paw!

blue grouse - ruffed grouse- famous grouse... its so hard to choose   :dunno:. kinda seasonal for me, I like getting high in september specifically for blues and then mainly stay low for ruffs the rest of the season.

Im going to head to ND and MT this fall and try for prairie grouse. I really want a big bull sage on my wall, maybe I will try for a grouse slam this year.

Any Grouse for me.
When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

Dog doesn't seem to care what color they are,  we have better luck down low though.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I do love blues up high, but whichever I can get to fly in front of my gun barrel works for me.
