Cash had 4 beautiful points, all the grouse held, all the shots were what I would consider almost easy and no shotgun I learned a lot about their habits that day, I followed their tracks before the flush and saw what they were eating etc. I might get one shot that easy every 10 times I go out hunting. I got 4 in one day, that was an amazing day. (a red letter day
I can't remember the last time I went 4-for-4 on grouse -- that would be a good day for sure. I used to try to take a limit at least once on our annual trip to MN. Now, I'm satisfied with some good dog work, a decent number of flushes, and making a shot that I know I should.
