in the early 60s dad tok me out and we saw numbers like 10 grouse a day ,that was great day in 1 area.never saw more than that and thought that was something.when you hear 50 flushes, oh my i would pee my pants in that situation with toby.
i bet he would tackle me if that happened

We call them partridge here in VT. Only the flatlanders call them grouse
We have a lot of them here in VT and they are the size of full grown turkeys. When they flush you are shooting for survival. Them against you. If 2 or 3 get to you a man doesn't stand a chance. They go for the eyes first...then the nuts.
I know what you are going to say Jim.....CI has been fishing too long and here come those tall tales.

BROWNIE was my dog then,mix beagle /terrier and very good hunter.she flushed 3 grouse and my cousin was taking a pee with his back to me and brownie.1 grouse went to left,1 straight out and other to my right.
i shot to avoid being run over,ha.well the grouse to my right hit my cousin right square in back of head flying.it fell dead as door nail,so did byron,well not dead but scared to death.he thought after laying on ground i THREW that grouse at him hitting him in back of neck.
i did not,it flew into him.
to this day he still thinks i threw that grouse at him
