Ruffed Grouse in Maine’s WMD 5

[Dean Romig]

Yup, I know that Edgar. I was making reference to those with a shotgun, an pickup truck and a case of beer. And we've all seen that if we've spent any time up there.
I'm not casting stones - just stating the the facts.

Once again, it's not illegal and as far as personal preference goes it's not even unethical, except to those of us who wouldn't take grouse that way.

It's somewhat mystifying why you even brought up road hunters, since the thread was about grouse numbers. I merely remarked that a Professional Maine guide put hunters successfully on eight grouse, and ten woodcock, which are very unlikely to be shot in a road.

I only brought it up because there seemed to be the question there, at least in my mind Edgar.

We do go round and round on things, don't we...

I'm not trying to be contentious, just so you know.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste........., or loose

What else are we supposed to do in our waning years?

As a kid growing up in New a Hampshire it was a Sunday afternoon tradition in October to ride the back roads and bird hunt with my family. Whoever saw the bird first, which was usually sitting on a stone wall, got to exit the car and take the shot. I killed many grouse that way. We would go home and my mother would cook the birds for dinner. Great memories. Would I do that today? No, but still I recognize the tradition and do not frown on it. There are plenty of birds, and no one owns the “correct” way to hunt them. Sorry, JMHO
