Thank's guys! There was quite a few more out there but like I said I wasn't fast enough for those, and one that left its self exposed was on a branch I could of shot but It would have been a for sure arrow loss and hard recovery because it was on a downward sloping hill with thick brush. Was surprised that one I shot even went anywhere, I hit low and it ripped through the stomach area and It still flew off about 15 yards with its legs hanging. Thought I might have broke some legs but they looked fine when I cleaned it.

Do you guys usually meat out the legs to? Or just the breast?

Not true with grouse. Its kind of hard to leave the head on when shot with a high powered rifle.

Hey Smossy try this on your grouse.

Debone the breast
wrap in bacon
Make up some stove top stuffing ( we like corn bread) Cook until JUST about done.
Put a layer of stuffing in brownie pan
place grouse breast on stuffing
Cover breast with the rest of the stuffing
bake at 350 until done
