I'm always very weary of a Grouse hunter with a single shot shotgun. Next to the .22, its the most popular type of gun for road hunting/ground sluicing slobs.
And I am very appreciative of having a second barrel on the ready. I suspect that the guys pointing out the higher number of hits with the second barrel are right. I never tracked it, bit at least for me a good number of my birds are brought down with the second shot for the reasons already stated.
And its a whole different ball game if I connect with the first shot. OH what to do...? Stand ready for more flushes? Quickly reload the first barrel before another goes up? As Ted would say these are good problems to have, but the answer is more obvious if I already discharged both barrels.
