Defining the "Perfect Grouse Gun"

[Dean Romig]

I ain't goin' there boys.

John, when I miss station one high house I always shoot over it.

[John Taddeo]

I do the same Dean, but we play by using the option on the first dropped target, and that sure seems frequent to 1high..Thank God grouse don't flush from a hemlock three feet behind and above (to often)

[Dean Romig]

Where I hunt they do... but they don't fly straight away, rather, they fly away behind you putting any and all obstacles between themselves and the shooter.

For the last couple of years my favorite grouse gun has been a Smith & Wesson SXS w/ 28" barrels ,chokes IC & Mod. At 6lbs it has done great near the Chain of Ponds in Maine. (18) birds for the season.....but who's counting ?

[Dean Romig]

Ed, what gauge is your S&W?

[EdSartell]

20 gauge I had the stock bent slightly to cast off and installed a leather recoil pad

Ed, nice reference to Led Zepplin

Dean, You might have the perfect grouse gun, 12g a one frame 28" barrels ball grip grade 3 You will know shortly, Gary

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Gary. According to the engraving it looks like a woodcock gun.

[EdSartell]

Rich,

I knew someone would figure that out sooner or later..... its reference to the fall and up coming bird season and of course Led Zepplin.
