[QUOTE="KDM, post: 492626, member: 314"] What kind of cover are the birds flushing from? Remember what that cover looks like and recognize it from a mile or more away. Plan your approach so you come over the hilltop or around a hill in range of that cover so if they are in there, you have a better than average chance of connecting. Think of it like hunting deer. Use 3 inch mag 4 shot lead instead of 8 shot so you can reach out a bit. If they flush at your feet, nowhere does it say you need to obliterate them at 10 yards. Let them get out there 30 yards and then shoot. Grouse and partridge are easy to put on the ground with just a pellet or two. Keep quiet on your approach and make sure your dogs are on heel or on leash so they don't bust up the stalk. Grouse and partridge are a damn site different than pheasants and you have to hunt them differently. These birds are VERY predictable. Use that to your advantage. Good Luck!! Post pics!! [/QUOTE]
