My wife shot a ruffed grouse tonight and tossed it in the back of the pickup as we were headed home. When we got home no grouse. It was head shot with a 20 gauge shotgun, no rough roads, what happened?

Ted, but one time while I was living in North Dakota I was headed home after bagging two roosters over the dogs. Dogs were in the back in their crates and the roosters were in my game vest in the backseat. Next thing I knew, one of the roosters came back to life and was standing on the center console of my 4runner, wide-eyed and staring right at me. I was on the highway so I probably looked like a DUI waiting to happen as I swerved all over the road as the rooster came to life and started flapping around everywhere. I managed to grab a leg as I abruptly swerved over to the shoulder in a cloud of dust and practiced my best tomahawk throw against the side of the passenger door. This was enough to stun it so I could properly dispatch it. Still got scars on my hand from it's free leg spurring me. Long story short, what I believe happened is that my bird shot must have hit it in the head but not actually penetrated the skull, instead just knocking it out. So 15 minutes or so later when I got back to the truck and headed home it must have come out of it's fog.

Imagine the stories that grouse is going to tell the others in the woods. "Oh yeah, Bill, suuuure you were abducted by a couple of aliens and held captive on their steel, 4 wheeled ship... And suuuure you escaped and are here to tell us about it."
