mmm grouse...but how?

[beergut]

hey,

i have never hunted before and i know somone who does but doesnt hunt what i want to hunt. i want to bag me a grouse.....okay many grouse

i have a 12 gauge cylinder bore and a possible .22. how cant i get into hunting grouse? how do i clean them? whats the things i need and laws? plus the best part, how you like them cooked? i wont get out till next year to hunt them anyway. i am just thinking of getting started.i would rather eat a wild animal than a hormone infested force fed chicken.

would like to know when the season is for them and everything! im on my own and know nothing about hunting, please educate me! my neibor only goes for the large animals lol i get some meat for free but knows nothing about birds.

Go grab a regulation book and read it over to start with. Or go here and start reading http://www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/huntingregs/

Get familiar with the regs and then ask some more questions, not all at once grasshoppa

Pretty hard to answer your questions without knowing what zone you want to hunt.

You are asking a large number of questions at one time. For someone who has never hunted, you need to know the regulations before you do anything IMO...

the zone i will be in is from Edmonton down to calgay and all the way west up to the parks. (forestry trunk road, seven mile is my favorite place to be)
i love camping and going snowmobiling in that area.

For cleaning, step on the wings and pull on the legs, works easier if the bird is still warm.
