Grouse gun of choice

[Nalidixic]

So, lets start another hunting poll to pass the time ;P. What is your grouse gun of choice? I'm assuming most will be either .22 or a .410. I prefer the .22 but haven't tried the .410. How do you keep the bird clean of pelets with the .410?

22 LR, if you miss it doesn't wound the bird, if you hit it it kills it. Ammo is cheap, and it is a little quieter than the BOOM of a 410. Moosin

.22 (shhhh dont tell anyone,i just put money down on a BROWNING T bolt)

870 with 20" barrel. #8 trap loads. Very few pellets in bird (unless you are 4 feet away) and you never miss. Try wing shooting a bird with a .22.

12 gauge with no. 5's or 6's is what i use. In the thick brush i hunt i dont have time to wait for an oportunity to pop em with a .22.

12 g with no 6. why screw around? and anyone that says a 12 g will wreck them should ask a duck hunter how many birds they throw away because they are full of shot

Whatever's at hand when you spot the lil' buggers. I've nailed 'em with .22's, with a shotgun, and with my various hunting rifles. Depends on how much noise you're willin' to make to get a small meal.

I used to us my Dads 410, then I got myself a 22lr. The 22 is more fun!!

we have a .22 for grouse but I would love a 410/.22 combination
