My uncle hunts grouse with a dog and a pretty decent hunting dog. He tells me it's 50/50 whether or not they flush or fly into a tree.
This past weekend we saw 11 birds. I think all but two flushed pretty much out of range. They were jumpy. It was windy and I've heard in the wind they're spooky suckers.
We were trying hard to get Jack his first one but he missed the shot due to 10 year old excitement. It's so much fun!
It's so much fun!
