It would be ok to carry the 308, but illegal to use it on a bird. And yes some people do get "kicks" out of blowing up grouse.
What law says you can't shoot a grouse with a 308? I've killed plenty of grouse with my 270, and before that a 264 Win. Mag. I always shoot the head off.

Get your copy of the regs (you have one correct?)
Open it to page #72.
Now go to #11 (it's on the upper right).
And read it (you can read correct)
Now come back and tell us what it says regarding forest grouse..

There will be a pop quiz tommorrow...

That's only legal during deer and elk modern firearm if you have a valid tag.

Page 72, #11 Prohibited firearms/hunting methods, sentence 2 states "Hunt game birds with a rifle or pistol, EXCEPT FOREST GROUSE!!!!!!

I can, you can hunt/shoot GROUSE anytime during there open season with a .22, 30-06, 300rum or .410, or if you wish,
a bow or muzzle loader.
I can go out during archery season and hunt grouse with a 30-06 if i wish, or during muzzle loader season, or during the 3rd week of december........
There is no ruling/law that states i can only use a rifle if i wish during modern deer or elk seasons...

I want to see what bigtex has to say. He usually knows the laws better than anybody and he says you can't shoot a grouse with a 308 ??? :dunno:
The gist of what I remember is that you could only use a centerfire rifle for grouse during modern firearm season for deer/elk IF you had a valid deer/elk tag

Yes i was incorrect about being able to hunt grouse during the deer/elk modern season with a centerfire/shotgun unless you are in possesion of a modern deer or elk tag..I want to see what bigtex has to say.

So if you have an unnotched deer tag and wish t take a grouse, go ahead, it legal, now fill your tag day #1 you better switch to a .22 or shotgun with birdshot till modern season is over, then go back to the 30-06 if you want, thats legal..

Yeah but who's going to go hunt grouse with a 30-06, unless they are actually deer hunting, and in that case they will have a deer tag. So you pretty much can shoot grouse with any gun, any time.

I figured the answer would be simple, but this thread makes my head hurt... :bash:

So.... I could bring my AR & 30-06 out with me while deer hunting in the event I was looking for forest grouse as well?
I figured the answer would be simple, but this thread makes my head hurt... :bash:
LOL...You actually can provided you have a big game license and appropriate tag for the season. An AR for grouse though?
