Grouse with a trad bow?

[HillSlick]

So I’ve always wanted to hunt grouse and this year I actually got to take a crack at it. And I discovered something lol they’re mighty skittish.

How in the hell do you get anywhere near these little *censored*s to shoot at em?!?! Lol

If anyone has any tips for hunting these delicious looking forest chickens with a longbow I’d appreciate it!

I live in the greater Longview area if that helps!

Hope everyone is having an excellent and safe hunting season!

Hunt hard shoot straight!

I’ve killed quite a few with my trad bows, shoot for the body not the head! Haha I’ve missed a lot shooting for the head and they always duck it! But usually it’s just a matter of getting them to fly into a tree or seeing them in the bushes tucked down thinking they’re invisible.

I've tried a couple of times. My problem was finding the birds. I usually end up stump shooting.

My friend got tired of losing his arrows when he missed so he got out a can of orange spray paint and painted them so they are easier to see.

Lol I had a quail duck an arrow from 10 yards once, and I just stood there flabbergasted. Wish I had reflexes like that!

Yeah I guess it’s just gonna take time and finding good places to go!

Spray paining the arrow is a great idea! I don’t have too much trouble with my flu flus though.

I’m with you, I’m still trying to find reliable places to go! I’ve been told there’s great hunting in my area lol but not where
