don't go shorter than 28" in the grouse woods you either have a shot or you don't. and that extra couple inches is worth its weight in gold for your swing..

My go to grouse gun for over 30 years has been my AYA xxvbl 12 gauge with 25 inch barrel. I love that gun. Grouse hated it.

I love my 26" gun. It is a twelve gauge though. Maybe short and fat works as well as long and thin.

The secret to killing many grouse is 1 3/8oz #9's at 1300fps. Through a model 59 cylinder bored.
Out there doing it best I can.

That hood thingy they use when eating Ortolan so nobody has to watch you spit a bunch of shot out at the dinner table. Gross.

That was tongue in cheek. Two of the most prolific (big numbers) grouse killers in print used those ingredients, even if separately. I just merged them. (Woolner and Prawdzik)
Comfort and style are more important to me. You can only eat so many, and wholesale killing for bragging rights doesn't interest me.
Out there doing it best I can.

Doverham very nice a-10, been looking at them hard. What barrel length is on your baby Thanks. 29" with a solid rib and fixed chokes.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

I kinda knew it was tongue in cheek. Mine was, too. I haven't found a satisfactory use for #9 shot, off of a skeet field, anyway.
I quit hunting with the guys who declare war on the birds in the fall, and aren't satisfied unless the freezer has a body count of fifty birds, or more.
I sure enjoy the walk. A brace at the end is nice, but, not necessary.
Best,
Ted
