Well, Tom left a few things out... Like the blackberry vines that will shred your skin, the grapevines that will 'clothesline' you, the old deserted beaver bogs that will swallow you whole, the webs of little dead branches in the black spruce thickets that try to poke your eyes out and fall down inside the back of your shirt, the surprise snow squalls that create 'white-out' conditions... the list goes on and on - so a short, light gun is the right gun for grouse hunting.
