I am confused by his statement as well.. I have been out hunting for grouse around some of our cuttings here. They are plentiful this year and I have gotten twelve in four days of hunting them. The bag limit is 4 a day and 8 in possession. So my wife and I ate 4 so we are good. Also you have to be careful handling them. They are polluted with small ticks.. Archery opened up yesterday so now I am out with the bow.
