New to Upland Hunting

[EastLake13]

While deer hunting, I've spooked some grouse on Westside public land. Old, wet, and overgrown logging roads.

I’m on the Olympic Peninsula.
I am rather  new to the area.
I do a bit scouting and like to go all over what is around me.

For the most part I free dive and fish.
Lot’s of nice areas here to do that.

Recently I saw a box for leaving one of your grouse wings in.
This is a spot I want to learn more of.

I am mainly a shooter but I dig hunting dove and quail.

My firearm of choice is my beater 870.
I just love it when the snobs laugh at my beater at the trap range and I get a 20 plus score to their 6-8 score
I also am better than proficient with pistols.

So I kinda wanna do grouse with one of my .22 caliber pistols, no dog just me.

Am I insane?

Thanks.
Andy.
