Most grouse are <1kg, but they're fearless. I got swarmed by one while snowboarding. Crazy, because they're oblivious to the fact that we can catch, injure, or kill them very easily in self-defence or fully intentionally (hungry?).

Astoundingly beautiful handsome male grouse

That was "Awesome"!! The hand...is quicker than the wings! 👍😊

He's so cute

This video was 4 years ago and they're three/four times as bad now. Completely devastated the clam beds.

I didn’t like him catching this beautiful bird! That wasn’t respectful! He did this because he could! It doesn’t make you look tough to catch an innocent bird! I bet this poor bird was scared!

These grouse are pretty funny. My favorite is the Western Capercaillie. They think they're tough too, but they're a pushover like this one. Their defiance is rather charming, cute in a way. Who's that little revolutionary! George Grouse-ington, is that you? What a killer wittle guy.

th-cam.com/video/-7pXeBuzMaI/w-d-xo.html here's buddy the grouse

grouse (and most birds in general imo) are such fascinating and beautiful animals. Whenever I look at them a cant help but think of the millions of years of diversification and adaptation they've gone through since the non-avian dinosaurs bit the bullet. And now we are bigger and tougher than most birds. Funny how the tables turn like that over a few hundred million years lol

Excuse my language i promise my edicate has improved. More vids to come with the ol man for sure

Never tried that method🤠

Good Eating

Interesting clip, beautiful creature!

It's a Ruffed Grouse. Grouse are aggressive during lekking season. Of course his nearly turkey-sized Old World cousin, the Capercaillie would just step on him.

I just killed one of these things today there meet is beautiful

THANK YOU for RELEASING him!! xox I love you!

Had a grouse move in near my house, and it became super protective of the area due to a nest. It was hilarious for awhile but often I would have to come home with arms full of stuff and this thing would start pecking at my ankles. Needless to say the only thing I could do was make sure it understood that the porch was off limits by giving it a swift kick. Not something I am proud of but just pointing out these things will attempt to OWN whatever area they live in. It is a combination of amusing, sad and annoying.

That's not Ripogenus Lake. There is no such thing, it's Ripogenus Dam connected to Chesuncook lake.

Awesome catch of northern ruffed grouse.Those birds are so cocky !He didn't want u in his space would be my guess.

She thought she was tough😅

Are you a mainer?? Rumford maine boy here. Born and raised

Nice pahtridge!

That was cool!

It's strange how the "dumb grouse" often get a pass in my book lol. We have a hen who has been hanging out around the house for about six weeks, can't bring myself to shoot her because my little girl loves seeing her.

Overnight me 3 🦀dozen down south I'll pay💵

took my son's camping here in the 90's. Sites 82 and then 125. Had access to lake and rocky beach at end of fence for floating on tubes. At beach if wind is up and from the west to north northwest, there can be body board waves south side of concrete pier.Kids loved jumping off the pier into the waves.

I caught a Ruffed Grouse hen that was doing the wounded wing dance in the road in front of me as I walked my dog. About 15 keets gathered around the feet of my Dane. They are pretty dumb, it's a wonder the species survives.

I fished that on the way home a couple years ago.

Should have just cooked him lol

Where in Washington county was this filmed?

Cool video great filming I liked the videos for ya

Better than them getting picked out of the cull bucket at the shop by junkies and sold.

mint

Wow drive around in the snow, how impressive

Wow! I heard those green crabs were starting to invade the place, this video proves it!

So the bait is just placed under straw / hay ? Just one bait do they just grab and go ? Sorry you have so many anti trappers commenting on your Posts

Nice

Crimson red color is beautiful. What time of the year does the leaves turn? Thank you...

That grouse is not the sharpest tool in the shed. But sweet video.

Those grouse don't seem too afraid of you! So cool!

Nice video

how do u a just them?

do u have to do anything to your dukes? or can u use them straight out of the box?

Great video Derek

Wow, I've seen some dumb grouse, but that's a whole 'nother level. Nice catch and release.

That is too cool! Never had one so close that we could catch it with our bare hands! That is AWESOME!

Thanks for letting him go. A friend of mine had one follow him to his tree stand then perched on a branch next to him him and went to sleep while my friend was hunting from the stand. The grouse followed him through the woods to his car when he left. The same grouse (most probably) followed my friend's brother when he hunted from the same stand a couple of days later.

What kind of trap is that

Where is this? It's beautiful.
