Last Sunday, in Manitoba, 6 of us got 10 sharptails up in a 2 mile walk, of which we bagged 9. A "covey" of 4 produced 3 on the flush, and a walk-up on the spot the last one landed ended badly for the bird. We followed that with a "covey" of 6 which stayed together after the flush, resulting in 5 more birds in the bag.
I'd been led to believe that grouse would flush more wildly, but these birds didn't flush until 10 or 20 yards away. Since I have only hunted grouse that one time, I'm interested in finding out if that is typical for sharptails.
Thanks,
Todd
