Live in Northern Minnesota. On my land where i deer hunt and grouse hunt there are a considerable ammount of wolves. Caught them many times on the trailcam and they even killed my neighbors dog (who stayed out all day). Even so when you're on a walk with your dog, you have nothing to worry about. Trust me wolves are smart enough to stay away from humans especially in the middle of the day. Nightime is different on the other hand!
I'm impressed. I was looking for grouse hunting videos on YouTube and all I could find were rednecks that were roadhunting and shooting the birds on the ground. Finally! People that actually walk in the woods and take flying shots at the birds!
Nice shooting, beep beep, God love you for letting it flush! Too many videos on YouTube showing "hunters" in trucks shooting grouse on the ground or roosting in trees. Grouse 101 you are a class act even with your amusing hat!
Hunting with a dog is clearly cheating. Hunting solo and having a grouse explode from your boot-tops and knocking it out of the air is a much greater challenge than being prepared because a mutt has pointed a bird out for you. Leave the mutt at home with your slippers and hunt on your own.
@DoinThupidThings you are so stupid the dog helps you if he shot it dead from the tree I would agree but he let it fly and he killed it the dog have fun
there is i little more sport in letting them fly must be a better shot to shoot something moving as us duck/geese hunters know but i am looking for dinner so to shoot a standing bird in the head no pellets in that nice little breast is what i want
any tips for spotting the grouse before they fly? i have gone out 3 or 4 weekends in a row and seen about 4-5 each time, but i never notice them untill they fly away and usually i dont have a good shot.
@RedUnbannable Move slowly and don't stop, you can get very close that way. They tend to fly if you stop to look around. As you see in this video, they only fly to the first branch if a dog spooks it up.
Yea i can see that. and it si challenging is it not? wouldnt you feel a little guilty if you went out grouse hunting and one stood completely still as you walked up t o it and shot it? hunting ethics are a tricky subject. Today i was actually reading an article of a new york man and he says that in the future Hunting will disappear, due to loss of ethics, and as time progresses nobody would see the point in hunting.
The Beeper Collar - used often by many in areas of high wolf concentrations such as northern Wisconsin where this was filmed. Much easier to deal with annoying sound than a dead dog that you love. Though Phat Phred makes the shot look easy this is a shot that is missed by most inexperienced grouse hunters.
@grouse101 I've hunted in N. Wisconsin for over 20 years. Never had a run in with a wolf. You're paranoid. Besides, why would a beeper collar keep away a wolf? Your shouldn't be that far from you anyway, especially in the grouse woods. But whatever...as long as you can put up with it. Happy hunting!
@Ryevin ive shot birds out of a tree but those are usally when me and my firend go up on a camping/hunting trip and we "live off the land" for food we try not to go into town
Ah, nothing like the peaceful solitude of the great northwoods. Too bad a person can't hunt without beeping and beeping and beeping. Your grandfather would have smashed that thing after two beeps and probably knocked the bird out of the tree with a rock. It was a good shot though, I find them very hard to hit when flushed from trees, as they tend to drop then lift.
@birdboy999999999 Hunters wait to shoot deer until they are standing still so they get a clean shot. They don't make deer start running before they take a shot. Why is shooting a grouse and breaking its wing, then chasing it down and snapping its neck an ethical kill? Please explain to me why it is unethical to shoot a bird that isn't flying. I am an open minded person and will listen to your opinion.
@chazfensk Because when you are deer hunting or some other type of game hunting you are using a rifle. that takes one shot, one projectile. i think we could agree that it is much easier to shoot an animal with a shotgun than a rifle, at closer ranges as shown in this video. What i am trying to say is that it is very hard to hit a moving target with a rifle, with a shotgun its ethical because it offers no challenge, you just point and get a kill. Rifle hunters for that reason wait for a shot
@birdboy999999999 I would absolutely agree with you that it is not as challenging to shoot a sitting bird. But I was always taught that when killing an animal it should be done in the quickest most humane way possible. Shooting a bird on the fly increases the chance of merely crippling it and causing unneeded suffering and possible loosing the bird. I am not saying it is wrong to shoot a bird on the fly. I just can't see how shooting a sitting bird is unethical. Just my 2 cents.
@chazfensk thats just what winf shooting is all about though man. you shoot a flying bird, you kick up a pheasant, you probably shouldnt shoot anyhting on the ground. except for here wiht grouse hunting
@birdboy999999999 Usually when I shoot grouse on the ground it is fairly challenging because they are not standing still. They are trying to get away ducking in and out of cover.
@damagefactor ummm.. no i dont think anyone does. why dont you read what i said before. Deer hunting requires a single projectile being fired, so it would be ethical to shoot it then. but if i had a shotgun and i was pheasant hunting, i would want the bird to get kicked up.
@birdboy999999999 Ethical based on your own opinion, I think shooting a stationary deer with a single bullet is stupid easy - but I don't think you, me or anyone else is unethical for doing it.
I read what you said fine the first time, "challenge" is subjective just as "ethics" are subjective. If you don't feel right deroosting a bird, then don't do it. But STFU if you tell me I am unethical. The bird tastes the same to me, but I destroy less of the delicious parts when they sit still.
@damagefactor ok im actually basing the ethical piece from The oldest hunting club in minnesota, and quite possibly in the country. These guys have been around since the 30's.. ok? You are misunderstood as to what i am trying to get across. you can clearly see in this video, the hunter did not shoot the stationary bird. It offers no challenge to the hunter if he were hunting with a shotgun.
@damagefactor So do we know why he shot the bird when it flew? take a guess and do some research maybe you will learn something. but it is unethical hunters like you that give us hunters following a set of ethical rules, a bad name, why is hunting called game? because it is a game, a challenge. Thankyou come again
@birdboy999999999 i hunt them with my bare hands while I'm naked. In broad daylight. I like to give the bird a chance. Is that ethical enough for you?
If he wants to put a beeper collar on his dog then he can, so quit your whining

@turdeson Why not shoot it out of the tree? Shooting on the fly just makes it more likely to destroy the meat and waste the bird.
