Title: Grouse the hard way.. TBM
Post by: RedShaft on September 07, 2013, 01:00:00 PM
The new Traditional bowhunter mag has an article by Darryl Quidort. i think this may be the video from where that article came from.

I miss doing that.  I killed several Grouse & Ptarmigan when I lived in Alaska.

Grouse hunting would be a good regional tradganger hunt.

Great video! The one that wouldnt fall out of the tree and the ricochet shot were pretty funny!

Where did this hunt take place? Can't believe how many grouse there were. Wow!!!! that looks fun
Title: Re: Grouse the hard way.. TBM
Post by: Sean B on September 08, 2013, 01:38:00 PM
I believe that's from Darryl and Denny's DVD "Moose Country".  Good Stuff!!

idk. but the grouse around here do not hang around like that.i would love to hunt them like that what a blast!! lots of shooting. it seemed there was enough opportunities on the ground i doubt i would even attempt tree shots. maybe cause they are not pressured they are like that? i just know here you get even close they bust out and you never catch one walking around like that. they get real panicky take off. yeah that be funner than big game hunting.. glad you guys enoyed it. im always surfing around youtube looking for cool trad videos to watch.

This post was a pleasant surprise to me.  That grouse hunting took place in BC, Canada a few years ago while I was on a moose hunt with Michael Schneider.  Believe it or not, I had a lot more footage of grouse shooting that I did'nt even use when I edited that piece for the "Moose Country" DVD.  Grouse hunting was great fun!  Not as "serious" as big game hunting.  Glad you enjoyed it.

I enjoy watching small game hunting as much as anything. Mostly cause of the laid back fun attitude and all the shots.

Darryl, there ya go. You and Denny can make a small game video!! That be fun!

Grouse are making a huge come back in my part of the Catskills, although I didn't get a chance to get after them this year.

I couldn't watch that without wishing I was there! Great eating game bird too.

It's been a few years, but this bird made really good dinner in elk camp. Grouse have been hard to come by where I hunt in the last several years, but they are great fun and great eating.

I like the idea of a Tradgand Grouse hunt gathering.  Wonder where the best hunting would be for them.  Obviously BC would be on the list.

Nothing like the sound of an arrow skipping on the road.
Nice video

Many years ago my late brother and I got into a bunch of them while on a Montana elk hunt. We named the spot massacre point.

They are real tasty fried in butter with salt and pepper... or just broiled on the end of sharp sticks.

Great video, thanks for posting.

We've had some just like that in Washington and Idaho years ago.  What a blast!!

After watching that, I'd pay for a 4 day archery grouse hunt...that looked like a great time.

Sean B...glad to hear that,..I didn't see one this year in Rockland county but maybe it's just a matter of time. I had a blast in my youth chasing them either with a my father's old double or my recurve.

Funny to see this back up. Don't forget spring brings lots of fun opportunities.. Turkey, frogs, carp, hogs, and groundhog.

The mountain grouse we have in my neck of the woods are few and far between and danged clever.  They normally flush before I see them.  There is more than one of my arrows stuck out of reach in the trees.  Extensive management and a lack of hunter interest in recent years has recently brought numbers higher than ever in my (relatively short) life.  I can count on one hand the grouse I saw in 20 years as a youngster, stomping through these woods.  In my last outing for squirrel this year I saw three in one outing.  Something not even many "oldtimers" can claim.  A bowkilled grouse is a fine trophy here, and I am in hot pursuit.  Great thread, I enjoyed it
Thoroughly.

Thanks for sharing I read the article a while back it was cool to see the video. May have to try that this fall.
Seeing as I fear the deer numbers will be down this year .

Thats too cool. The closest Ive seen to that was in Allagash Maine during a moose hunt. I shot at about a dozen and clipped two. If I can draw another moose tag Ill be looking forward to grousing just as much.

Post by: typical2 on April 10, 2014, 12:06:00 PM
That video is awesome!  Looks like lots of fun but I would definitely be making a lot more arrows if I did that much.

Wow, thanks for sharing that video.
My hunting partner & I usually get several Grouse each Elk season. They make a nice dinner.   ;)
