Re: A sporting first grouse hunt
Be aware of what is behind the target when shooting Grouse with a .22. This is especially true if shooting at them while they are raised up on a stump or in a tree, where a missed shot has the potential of travelling a long ways. Also I would recommend taking head shots on grouse with a .22. I have seen many breast shot grouse fly away after being hit with a .22. I have seen them flop over flapping all around and then still fly off into the bush never to be recovered yet you know they died.
