Nice bird and band, shot with a very nice gun. I love my Merkel even if it is a OU. I am always concerned about damaging this 16 gauge so it doesn’t get out a lot.

Nice going Brian. I had no idea that grouse were ever banded. Must be a trick to catch one live and put the band on it

Maine has a program of trapping and banding grouse, i believe you can find it on the univ . of maine website. It uses the fence to a circular dead end method and there is a video also.
