Paddler - stop being a sanctimonious prick. Legal take for grouse includes a list of many firearms. I take a shotgun and try to kick them up for fun when I'm just hunting grouse, but I'll sometimes take one with a 22 pistol on the ground or on a branch if I'm big game hunting - but not opening weekend.

There's nothing unethical about shooting a grouse with a pistol - They've got a better chance of living with a pistol on the ground than a shotgun on the wing.
