There are differing definitions of “road hunting”. Here are a few:
1) drive dirt roads, see a Ruffed Grouse, stop, stick the barrel of the gun out the window and shoot the stationary bird while it is on the ground or in a tree. (illegal in the States I am familiar with.)
2) drive the dirt roads, see a Ruffed Grouse, stop, get out and stalk the bird with or without a dog and shoot at it flying.
3) employ practice #2, but do so when in the process of traveling to covers where the vehicle will be parked and hunters with or without a dog will get out and walk trails to find and put up birds to shoot.
4) The following one I learned about recently:
Guide drives dirt roads with client too disabled to withstand the rigors of continuous walking, and has highly-trained dogs work ahead of his truck. When a dog locates a bird, the truck is stopped and guide and client get out and stalk the bird to put it up and shoot at it.
