Reggie:
I did view a couple of Maine Grouse hunt videos on YouTube last night, filmed by a two-man team (no dogs).
Nice camera work, beautiful country, and a variety of game was depicted.
Right off, I noticed that the camera was not showing birds getting up -- that is, until the first shots were fired. And the guns were usually angled down and held steadily and aimed toward the brush like a rifle at the first shot, maybe raised or swung for the second. The occasional wing-shot was duly-noted.
Being out there, harvesting for the daily limit, cooking and enjoying the fare at the end of the day, and sharing the experience, was the object. The punctilio of how the shooting was accomplished was absent.
Not much point, for those who seek to acquire guns specifically built for shooting on the wing, and practice on moving clay targets with them in the off-season, to culminate in a test of gun and skill on flying birds. Different strokes.
