Funny, as I didn't read any posts saying what he did was illegal, but rather what is the norm in grouse hunting and if he wants to shoot them on the ground or in a tree it's no skin off my teeth. The comment on safe hunting was also just that, a comment, and any comments on how to be safe when hunting is a good thing IMHO! One final comment though and that is that many are posting hunting videos on the net nowadays and a good share of them are not doing anything but being detrimental to the sport as we know it. Take for instance the video that FM linked to his post last week that was deleted by Mods showing guys blowing up hogs with tannerite under the guise of hunting and laughing about it.
