Grouse, with .22?

[JasonG]

How many guys/ girls hunt grouse with .22s ? What's your go to Grouse gun?

I usually take my 20 gauge for grouse, but there have been times when I was in the woods during grouse season and only had my Ruger 22 pistol. Also have shot grouse with a Ruger 10/22, and if I were going to hunt grouse with a 22 that's the gun I would choose.

My 11 year old daughter may be going grouse hunting with me this year if she passes her hunter education course this week, and if she does she'll be using her little single shot Savage Rascal.

I always like using my win 410 but my go to is my ruger mark 1. I enjoy the challenge of it.

Back when I was a kid (a long time ago) all I knew was shooting grouse with a 22. Dad gave me a Remington model 521 in .22 lr. By the way, I still have this gun. We always carried this gun in the jeep " just in case" we saw a grouse, but we were usually deer hunting back then..

Today I take a shotgun. Not that the .22 isn't effective. But when I go out I am usually targeting grouse and I have the dogs with me. Using the shotgun has allowed me to get a second bird several times when it flushed after I have shot the first bird.

Browning buckmark with a red dot. Lethal and easy to carry.

I carry a S&W Model 41 .22 pistol during modern deer just for grouse. Always makes for good camp meat!

Betcher @$$!

And I will be doing it again in a couple of weeks.  With a newer Ruger pistol!

looking forward to putting a few feathers in the air with a new 410. I always have the ruger 3 target hunter near by to

When we were kids, the go to gun was a O/U .22 & 20 gauge.

I carried a .22 Ruger single six for years during rifle elk.

Than a 20 ga behind the seat a few years. The last few years the grouse have fallen to my .410 ,Judge,Circuit Judge, or Bond Hand Cannons.

That's a killer O/U combination ghosthunter

When we were kids, the go to gun was a O/U .22 & 20 gauge.

Hell ya!  First gun my pop got for us boys was a savage O/U 20 gauge/.22. Shot a TON of franklin, ruffled, and blue grouse with that combo

my colt huntsman .22 has taken a lot of grouse

the 22 bird shot is really effective also, killed a couple rattle snakes with them a few weeks ago. gives you a little room for error on the aiming as well
