They're a really cool bird.

I used to hunt them and grouse with a guide/friend when i worked in Russia outside of Kirov. I remember called глухарь.The first time I had one fly overhead in the forest I swore it was a turkey. I managed to shoot one and tried to get it mounted.

I went hunting once for a musk deer in Kazakhstan . Never got a shot.

never got it back when i moved back t the US.

Can you combine the bird hunt with a boar or deer hunt ? If so might be interested
