No joke. I was expecting it to be a blue. Good work, Smossy.

Post by: Smossy on September 22, 2013, 05:30:37 PM: Thank's guys! There was quite a few more out there but like I said I wasn't fast enough for those, and one that left its self exposed was on a branch I could of shot but It would have been a for sure arrow loss and hard recovery because it was on a downward sloping hill with thick brush. Was surprised that one I shot even went anywhere, I hit low and it ripped through the stomach area and It still flew off about 15 yards with its legs hanging. Thought I might have broke some legs but they looked fine when I cleaned it.

Do you guys usually meat out the legs to? Or just the breast?

Too bad you have to leave a feathered head attached or I would do this in the field.

Not true with grouse. Its kind of hard to leave the head on when shot with a high powered rifle.

Hey Smossy try this on your grouse.

Debone the breast
wrap in bacon
Make up some stove top stuffing ( we like corn bread) Cook until JUST about done.
Put a layer of stuffing in brownie pan
place grouse breast on stuffing
Cover breast with the rest of the stuffing
bake at 350 until done
