Addition...And we can't forget that for perhaps 40 years I chased Ruffed Grouse to the extreme..30 to 40 flushes a day in the good times.
30-40 flushes a day doesn’t sound like you hit much of what you were shooting at.
Brought back some memories….
Bud and I flushed a Grouse…and it flew down into this gut that went a couple hundred yards. He said let’s follow it up.
By the time we made it to the bottom….5-10 minutes….30 some went of that Aspen jungle. Didn’t kill a one and only shot at a couple.
(That same hunt, 6 of us and 8 Dogs….hunting in groups of 2 killed 123…and seemed to have left as many as when we arrived. Again….we hit a few. Each pair were flushing at least 40 a day. 120 flushes a day x 5 = 700 flushes total….minimum. Yet only 123 were hit. I guess you are mostly correct.)
7 or 8 get up together…and you have a SxS…two chances are the max you are going to get. 😉
(Gotta go…second day of a shoot…I’ll be working on trying to improve my shooting….however, not much I can do about my ears….🤨)
