I once hunted grouse for the better part of a morning, then returned to my vehicle and placed my gun in its case in the bed of the truck. As I unlocked the cab door a grouse walked out of the laurel a mere six feet away and stood watching me. I believe it heard me and was just curious what I was doing. I, of course, was hunting without a dog. I suspect a little drum would call them in for photos, but I have not tried it? They are wonderful animals in my opinion!
