Wait, you mean you aren't supposed to shoot them on the ground?

He probably means shoot them on the water so you can see your pattern

Anyone have a guess as to how the term "ground sluice" came about?

Isn't "sluice" a golfing term?
I would never sluice a bird on the ground.... I might break my stock

Googling about for definitions of sluicing game birds produced this nice article on Montana grouse hunting:

I was not going to weigh in on this but the more I thought about it I must. I have posted similar posts on the ground or tree swatting of grouse in the north country. The reason for my posts was to discourage such hunting tactics. But the more I think about this the more I am convinced that we should really think each to there own, and that the folks that want to hunt logging roads, here in northern New England which is my only base of judgment, should be allowed to hunt as they wish, as long as they are within the law. I know that in northern Maine, such practices are deeply rooted in the culture there, and that driving the hundreds of miles of logging roads in pursuit of a days limit of Grouse is perfectly acceptable. We should not be hunting snobs and dismiss these local acceptable tactics just because we do not think that is a “proper” way to shoot grouse. Who is to judge which is right????
