[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 185764, member: 1485"] I cut my teeth on ruffed grouse in NE MN. It's a pretty tough baptism into the hunting brotherhood, let me tell you. My favorite gun to use is a youth model 20 gauge with a stock adapter. You pretty much get one shot at a flushing ruff, and gun that snaps up to your shoulder and doesn't whack into a tree while you're mounting it is damn deadly. And even if you don't think you have a shot, shoot! One of the most miraculous shots I ever made was on a flushing ruff that damn near took me off at the knees, then skidded into the woods behind some shoulder-height spruce trees. I got so damn pissed I fired right into the grove and Remy took off after it. Couple minutes later, he's back with a very much alive ruff. I got one BB into his wing and that was enough. The other thing is do NOT rush. Take it slow. This isn't pheasant hunting where you're practically sprinting across the field. Ruffs are sticky birds, even after being hunted a while. If you walk slow and quietly, there's a good chance they'll hold tight and let you get into range. [/QUOTE]
