Here is one that uncoolperson and I found last weekend.  This thing was huge, and was bigger than most chickens I have seen.

#6 shot, improved cylinder or modified choke.

   Exactly what I use.  Either choke should be ok.

What size shot and choke do most people recommend for grouse?

I'm using a .410 with either 2.5" or 3" shells depending on gun and #6 shot.  Both guns are choked Full.

What size shot and choke do most people recommend for grouse?

Maybe a little less sporting than wing shooting with shottie, but I like my Ruger 10-22 with iron or optical sight. Seeing the birds before they flush is a challenge in thick cover though.

More sporting is an iron sighted rimfire pistol in the hands of an accomplished shooter.

My Ruger MkI rides on my hip ALL SEASON.  Lots of camp/pot meat that way.

My Ruger Single Six does a nice job.  ITs that or my Springfield M6 .22/.410
