does your lab point and you shoot or does he FLUSH on grouse..all labs we hunted behind for grouse FLUSH and pheasants too..
He points -- then depending on the situation either I flush or have him flush on command. He points all upland birds -- and again, depending on the situation, either I or he will make the flush.

thats something to see, lab pointing.. do you think a pointing lab isas good on grouse as the english setters you rec.?i was out today, ticks are terrible..as i was driving home i pulled 6 off my friends lab..
we had 6 grouse flushes and i got 1,only one thati was able to see to shoot..that brush is awful thick yet,i was using 7 and 1/2 ,low brass 1 and 1/8 shot dove loads..i had 5 woodcock that i could have shot but i cant see killing them..they were good training for our young dog,he flushed them over and over, then i shot over woodcocks head..
great day,but those ticks are terrible..we pulled 12 ticks off his dog after we got home..
