Grouse gun of choice

[Wildcowgrl]

I use either my 12 gauge or my 28 gauge. Don't have to worry about pellets cause 9 out of 10 times I am lucky enough to get them in the head lol.

I'm with the cudda. I use my benelli nova 12g (my goose and dick gun) and I just put the bead right on the head and squeeze er off. I am left with a headless body with NO shot in the breast. Lets be honest, gouse hunting is just that..... grouse hunting.

Ever since I was a little kid I've loved eating grouse. I think the flavor is super the way Mom cooked them up. I've used my Cooey single shot .410 ever since I got it for my tenth birthday. Usually behind a spaniel, so he'll tree 'em. Three inch magnum with #5 shot and clip their heads right off.
Never favored .22, as one couldn't waste time at "drawing a bead" if you understand what I mean, especially in heavy leaf trees. Also road hunting for ditch sitters, the clover and gravel pickers. Afraid of rickocheting .22 slugs going astray. Too bad, can't find #5 shot any more - 6 & 7 too lite imo esp. 7's. No knock down power. Well the old 12 guage is a bit overkill, but a heck of a lot cheaper to run than a .410, since I never reloaded. Really, anything may work in a jiffy - rock, stick, slingshot, judo point, 30-06, or even a paint ball gun. Good thread!
