In my hood grouse hunters use dogs and scatterguns and a good day is "maybe" 1 bird to show for lots of walking. We have VERY few, Im jealous of you guys who have enough you can just walk out and shoot them with a handgun!
My preference is to shoot them on the wing even when I could ground swat em.
To each his own.
Sounds like there are enough birds to raise a dam fine grouse dog.
