The cappercailie is a big bird mostly found and hunted in Scandinavia, Baltic countries and Russia. You can hunt them with dogs and shotguns or with a small caliber rifle using full metal jacket bullets. In France we have some but as their living ground is shrinking they are protected.
Most of french hunters who are looking for some come to Finland or Russia; they generally hunt them with shotguns in front of dogs cause hunting birds with rifles is not in french hunters tastes
