Fine double gun & a double on grouse

[glang1]

There is nothing better than a double gun & a double of grouse. Anyone else hunt grouse with a double barrel?

 

[Shooter_01]

Very nice!

I do but, have no photographs. Next time out I'll try and snap a few.

I often hunt grouse up towards your area (Barry's Bay).

 

[Why not?]

Yep, however mine is a 16 gauge SXS that I use for grouse and ptarmigan. Don't often get a double on them though.

I just bought a o/u for grouse ! Cant wait to try it out

A double gun, a pointing dog, and grouse in the aspens. A match made in heaven! I have used doubles exclusively for upland birds for many years. Taking two forest grouse in the air from a simultaneous flush is a wonderful achievement, congratulations!

I swear by my Browning Citori for the upland game. Nice birds.

Greener bags birds

I have a 12ga side by side. Haven't bagged a double,yet. That must be a very nice feeling to have accomplished that feat. I have done it shooting clays alot. Shooting clays is good practice however not the same as bird hunting. Well done.

I still haven't got into the OU game, desperately want to get one tho. I did get a double with my 870 this weekend, only two shots fired...I was pretty happy with that!

Rickyy, I mainly hunt west of Ottawa in WMU 63. I have family with land out that way. I shot these up at our hunt camp South of Mattawa in WMU 48. 5 flushed @ the same time. I got lucky!

I use a Stevens 311 in 16 Gauge as often as anything else. Not really a "fine" double, but a solid firearm in my opinion. I haven't shot a double on grouse with it yet, but I have doubled on a Mallard/Black earlier this season.

A 16 guage AND it's a SxS. Very impressed Sir!

Indeed - I used to shoot a SxS 12 gauge for most upland game... and waterfowl as well... but have since switched to 28 gauge. I've got a CZ SxS and a Beretta O/U. I can't remember getting a double on grouse, but have done so with huns and quail
