He’s added fishing series’ called “das boat” and “fur hat ice tour.” Also check out his “Back 40” series. They are all great. His narrating is definitely awesome and I love his perspective on hunting because it gave me a tangible explanation for how I feel about hunting. He was able to get me to explain and understand how I felt about hunting and feeding ones body and soul.

      Same, we would shoot the lowest one in the tree and work our way up shooting them in the head. If you start at the bottom and work up most of the time they will not spook from the gun shot.

    It’s only so often that you meet men like Ronnie. Unfortunately, in todays timeframe too many people are granted the title of national treasure. But people like these are the true national treasures, and when you meet them, latch onto them and be willing to admit that you admire them. they are teachers even if they don’t know it. I would hunt with Ronnie and Steve any day.

    I am the same way when it come to hunting. It’s all about being outside in a place you enjoy and harvesting something is always a bonus and when I have dogs that’s the one thing I will want to push more to harvest

    With grouse hunting it’s everything but the amount of birds in your bag that make the hunt. The dog work, the habitat, the other animals you see, and your hunting partner are all the reasons we do it. A bird is just something that happens along the way.

    Nice way to clean it! Here in Canada we step on the wings and pull the legs, that's cleans everything nicely. All left is to get the meat that still attached to wings and you're all good!

    Great video, guys! Hunting blues is a fun slog. There is always slope to contend with, but it takes you to some pretty fine places. Hunting with dogs just makes it that much more enjoyable. They can be elusive, or they can explode from your feet in a rush of unexpected noise. They are a wee bit stupid, as you saw, thinking you can't see them. Ronny is right - they have stinky guts, but once cleaned out the meat is tasty. Looks like you had a great two days. Thanks for bringing us along.

      Beretta m9 in 22lr. You can buy a threaded barrel for $80 15rnds and its pretty damm accurate, i started with a slincer co sparrow, and now use a thunderbeast 22 takedown. Its smaller and wayyyy easier to clean. Aquila standard velocity is the ticket, cheap and quiet. Grouse guts stink. If your going to get a few of them its worth saving the qizzard and legs .

    We get em right at the treeline in BC Canada. We would drive to the top of a mountain and hunt the treelines. Pro tip use a foam dog frisbee to get a blue grouse to flush from under a tree flushing in a direction ya can predict. I put a foam frisbee in my game bag and never have allowed my dogs to even see a frisbee and discourage playing with one. I train em to chase birds. They seem to like that folks
