RUFFED GROUSE Hunting Like This Is BANNED in Most Places!! 

Totally agree.

Well said

My sentiments exactly. Be respectful of the creatures and places we hunt.

Yeah, thanks for the video!

I’d have to agree, nice hunt, along with a nice meal at the end :)

Thanks Merton! I’ve actually got another truck camper build I just filmed for the new truck I got. Hope to have it out soon. So many great spots in northern Maine! Hopefully the populations continue as they have been the last few years!

Hope to have some filmed in the coming days so shouldn’t be too long I hope

Thanks, Jim! Very happy with how this one came together. These ones take a lot of time to make but I'll definitely have some more like it soon. If people enjoyed it. Yup planing out some ice fishing videos this week actually!

That’s always my goal. I prepare a some good meals with them and use what It helps justify taking the life

Thanks! Couldn’t agree more with you!

Thanks Matt. Should be gearing up to film some soon so keep any eye out for them!

Very true! Grouse is a great species to introduce people to wild game for sure. And it’s hard not to love a pot pie! Thanks for watching Josh! 🙏

@@MainelyOutDoors you bet watch all the time I am a sub. Great vids

@@joshdyer3670 plenty more to come!

Thanks! Yeah that’s always worked well for me it’s almost like they start to get in there own head and loose there cool. Otherwise I’d walk past far more of them

oh yeah! no corners cut on that one haha! Thanks for watching Jeff!

Thank you! Definitely a favorite of Maren an I

Thanks for that tip! I’ve never thought of that but definitely makes sense! I’ll keep that in mind for next season. Thanks for stopping by and Happy new year Shane!

Not really that near,,, but pretty far inland away from the tundra,,,, boreal forest type land we got hwre

Thanks Eric!

Thank you 😋

All the close ups of the birds are ones that were only shot with the camera. I’d just film them instead of shooting too add to the shots I could use.

Oh nice

😂 you’ll have to fight Maren for the last peace then!

It definitely was Bobby! I love that dish hard to beat a pot pie! 😂 cooking her favorite dish definitely didn’t hurt my chances!!

I’d highly recommend it!

Great to hear you’re enjoying the videos Micheal! We definitely still have some birds around here that are numb as rocks. I usually film those ones makes for great b roll. I actually have a biomedical background. So following a recipe is very similar to an experiment I find. It just clicks on my head and I enjoy doing it.

The last few years up in the county have been the best I’ve ever seen for them! You’ll have no problem finding them in the big woods now!

That’s awesome! I use finalcut pro but I started with final cut I’d suggest that if your in the apple world or premiere Pro if not. Anything will do to get you started just learn how to use it and you’ll improve over time. Best of luck I’ll have to check them out when you make some

Thank you so much

@@donutdude7561 Anytime!

Oh we definitely have snow now! This was filmed back in November. Thanks for watching Gary have a happy new year!

Ya that storm never hit New Brunswick to and there is like 4 feat of snow everywhere. This winter has been weird though because the snow won’t stay and that’s how I got a lot of my birds.

Thanks Austin! Oh yeah big plans gearing up to film a bunch this new week!

c'était très bon! Merci d'avoir regardé!

A flat fly? Can’t say I have, I’ve Never heard that term. Well that’s too bad because they’re definitely delicious maybe that’ll change her mind 😂

Hey ones better than none! Some times it can be hard to truck down spots but it gets easier in the later seasons since they tend to stick close to the roads

I like a mod choke and 6 shot

All the more reason to make a trip to Maine one day! They have been very plentiful the last few years

Wild

You don't have to go across the country. They're found in Oregon and Washington, too.

I do but I’ve never really hunted them maybe I will when I get a dog

@Kevin- definitely, It can be really good if you hit it at the right time during migration. And I agree with Mainely,- finding them can be a real pain in the ass- both before and after the shot without a dog. Im guessing you aren’t new to woodcock hunting. So you’re welcome for the info you already had 😂 Happy hunting bud.

You mean shot size? Or the actual gun

@@GrimReaperz2o9 Actual gun. Looking for this fall. I have so many grouse on my land in Lake county.

That’s my dads but I think he uses GAIA

Maine united states

I was looking for a comment like this. I've been wondering is this type of hunting normal in all states of the US? It always looks so weird to me, because where I hunt (northern Europe) hunting like this is highly illegal. Shooting birds near roads is considered too easy and too dangerous. You cant even carry firearms in the car cabin without unloading them and putting them in a case or cover. After stopping the car you have to walk a good distance away from the road until you are allowed to shoot. If you did this here, you would get a hefty fine, and probably lose your weapons as well as your license to hunt. In theory it would even be possible to lose the car you used. We even have a nickname for people hunting like this in Finnish language, "maantiemetsästäjä", translated "roadhunter". This is a very negative word to describe someone, basically calling them poachers. I mean, no offense to these guys. But it just looks weird.

​@@torttulithe gunn has to be unloaded and it's illegal to shoot if cars are on the road , and poacher? Really? These are legal shots and how is shooting at a road with no cars for miles dangerous?

@@Tha-Jonkler Yes, it is illegal to carry a loaded firearm in a car. It has to be unloaded and in a cover. It is illegal to shoot from a (public)road, an animal that is on a road, or over a road. When hunting birds like grouse, it also applies on private roads. It is also illegal to shoot an animal shortly after stopping your vehicle or to use a vehicle as cover. Birds gather near roads to eat sand, and are not naturally afraid of cars. It is really easy to shoot great amount of birds near roads with little to no effort. This is why it is viewed as bad sportsmanship. Is it dangerous? Well, yeah, if you compare it to shooting in the woods. A bullet or a ricochet might travel miles on a road. There's more people on the roads. I've been myself in a situation where I saw a fox right in front of my car when driving a back country road. Next thing I knew. someone behind the next corner shot the fox that was just meters away from my car at the moment. Because of the corner he saw the fox but not my car. I count that dangerous. These might be legal shots over there, but here it is illegal.That is why hunting like this seems so strange to me. Here it is not only bad sportsmanship, but also illegal = poaching. Im not saying you are in the wrong, Im just saying this is why it seems strange to me.

Finnish hunters nearly wiped out the grouse population 70+ years ago by hunting back roads from cars. Now we have very strict rules… including that if flush multiple birds you should shoot the slowest/weakest. For Americans, Finnish grouse hunting is weird because we often shoot roosted birds with a rifle (safety!) and hunters will use over unders with one barrel a shotgun barrel (flush) and the other a 22 rifle barrel (tree).

@@ypgrohn I'd say most just use an over'n under with two shells as shooting a grouse out of a tree with a 22 seems impractical

Dude shut up it’s normal

Explain your definition of hunting?

I’d agree completely, it ruins the fun and is unfair.

Yes, you should wait for them to flush.

Here’s a suggestion for you. Hunt how you enjoy hunting and allow others to do the same. If you feel passionate about it you should contact your local representatives instead of harassing hunters who are following the law

@@MainelyOutDoors Very well said! I’d like to also mention the countless awesome memories I have of riding around with friends/family heater hunting for grouse. Makes me smile just thinking about it! Too much damn fun!

We don't shoot them on the ground where I come from, but we don't hunt deer with dogs like they do in Southern coastal areas, either. I figure if it's traditional and sustainable, then go for it.

These always one 🐴hole congratulations today it’s you

I’m from Wisconsin as well and it is really just unsportsmanlike to shoot them off the ground and not wait for them to flush.

This is the dumbest comment I’ve read in a while

@@tammykennedy4165 This is the dumbest response I've EVER read! Lol. Must be a woman writing it...
