The first ruffed grouse I shot when I was a kid in PA had only one pellet wound, in its head. I have only taken 4 grouse in my
lifetime and two were a double. None of this is BS.
I remember grouse hunting on day with a friend of mine and we jumped a single bird. After the customary 6 shots ( we each carried pumps guns) the bird fluttered to the ground dead, at my last shot...... My friend said, Hey , You got him!!!!!
I went and picked up the bird and it had One pellet in it....... through the chest. I smiled and said, I meant to do that because I hate pellets in breast meat!!!
Even I know I was BSing..... and we laughed....
