They earn their down time, however they spend it and wherever they spend it.

Those foot hunters were finding tons of birds. They can call them whatever they want!

Reggie if you want to hunt grouse just let me know. I have a place in the upper peninsula and your welcome any time.
Rich there's a hunting show called Rooster Tales. Those boys do some grouse hunting. They chase a little bit of everything. I find it entertaining but I'm a poor judge as I have little interest in the big screen, for now anyway. Bless the DVR

I have heard of close working dogs referred to as "foot dogs", singles dogs" and close working dogs. This does seem to have an attachment to differentiate between close dogs and horseback shooting dogs although todays "shooting dog" classes look more like the All Age classes of 25 years or so ago.

Its genetic, my setters sleep the same way; its the secret to longevity increasing the blood flow to the brain. Very smart bird dogs!

Reggie,
I would second what Rich offered for a grouse hunt. You need to experience that a few times with leaves on the trees and leaves off the trees Rich I am currently looking at property s.e. of sault ste. marie for grouse and woodcock, there is supposed to be some sharptail areas in that area too.
