What is a forest grouse?

YUMMY!

he probably is very skilled with a sling shot and wants to know your hony holes.

Interesting thread.  Sparked a couple questions of my own.  I've never eaten grouse before.

I'm constantly spooking them out of the bushes during my off-trail travels.  Especially on my hikes around the Wenatchee area.  I've thought about carying a pistol to start bagging a few.  I don't really want to cary a rifle when I'm just hiking.  I noticed in the regs that I can use a pistol under .24 which pretty much means a .22 LR. Does the 4" barrel rule apply to grouse?  I noticed the taurus judge fires .410 shells but I'm not really wanting to spend 400-500.  Anyone have suggestions for cheapest pistol I can use on grouse?

This is the cheapest one I have found!

I'd suggest the ruger 22/45, they start at around $250 new

Don't forget the marbles (use the standard playing type ones, they fly the best), craft solid colored ones don't fly straight.

I thought only bear turds carried pistols.  I didn't know dead grouse did, too.
