Lloyd, Enjoyed your photos. I'm a die hard Grouse hunter. Normally hunt in the UP. My primary grouse gun is a Browning Lightning Superposed 20 bore with 28" tubes. I've got SxS's but can't hit with them near as well???? Not sure why?? Now that we're talking about how delicious Grouse are, which I totally agree with, I finally found a recipe for woodcock that I like. Used to just let them fly off, but not anymore! I filet the woodcock breast from the breast bone, then cut each little filet in half. Soak the meat in red wine for an hour or two, wrap prosciutto ham (best) or a little bacon, then tooth pick. Cook rare on a hot charcoal grill......just a couple minutes per side and what a great little treat as an appetizer, and so easy. Yum.
