On the ground. No questions asked. Wouldn't even think twice about it.:yeah:

but if I am hunting with my dogs, I won't shoot if the labs didn't flush it or the setter didn't point. grouse are too few and far between to pass up on a learning experience and chance for bird work. not to mention its just not safe to shoot at something on the ground with dogs in the mix.

I should have just had pity on a bird that dumb and let it be.Don't feel bad........a bird that dumb probably would have been eaten by some other predator. :twocents:

Head shot for me on the ground, no pellets to spit out . Option 2.....on the wing.:yeah: love fresh grouse, I fry it up with some garlic and other spices.

I usually hesitate a bit if they are on the ground. I would prefer to take them on the fly. If they refuse to fly, I nail 'em.:yeah:

Why would you hesitate about shooting the grouse on the ground? Unless you thought it was an unsfe situation
If you're just getting meat, then there's no reason to hesitate. If you're hunting, then there is obviously a lot more to that than just killing by any means possible.

My thoughts exactly. If I am hunting for the sake of hunting, then getting it on the wing would be fabulous, missing it might be even better for those who understand. If I'm hunting for the pot, (rare, but does happen) then I would shoot it. I only hunt for the pot once or twice a year and it is only during backcountry hunts with no other protein but what I collect. I doubt very many here actually go into the backcountry dependent on their shooting to eat. There isn't much like going hungry after hunting all day to sharpen the senses.

Boom.......no hesitation unless I'm in prime deer country with a un-notched tag...

a frappucino bottle makes a pretty handy grouse bonker in a pinch.
