Recently I caught a wild ruffled grouse. I wrote a story which is a rather long post.
The short of it is I coaxed the grouse close enough to catch with my gloved hands. I guess you could say I talked it in.
The funny part is it was on my buddy's property (Larry Hand) past tight end for the Detroit Lyons, anyway he was hunting in the same area last week & the grouse came up to him. He went back the next day & the grouse walked up a deadfall to him in his deer stand close enough he could rub it's breast!
The sad part is I was planning on grouse hunting there after deer season. Now Larry is afraid I might shoot the pet grouse! :-)
