So, in essence in regards to ruffled grouse the "gentilemans" way, or "sporting way" is to let the dog do the hunting, otherwise your unworthy...got it
Not at all...
Good dogs just add to the fun and total experience. They also locate birds you wouldn't and find downed birds you might lose.
Having a dog to locate birds dropped in thick stuff or cripples that run are a responsible way to hunt, IMO.
