Can this be done or waste of time? Thinking of bringing one on upcoming moose hunt in Ontario I will be scouting two days before season opener and thought if I had the chance to take a few without making noise I would try when I was up there last bear hunting they were everywhere and not hard to get about 30 feet away

taking any out of season seems like a bad idea in another country

I think they can be taken with a sling shot but I would think a pellet gun may be a better tool.


I have nothing clever to put here.

A slingshot makes a lot more noise than you might think.

It depends on if you don't want to alert game or game wardens.

I've seen them taken by throwing a stick, yes a slingshot will work.
Air rifle is also a good tool for raking them.

My boys are killers with their slingshots! They have shot a lot of stuff with them! I replace the rubber bands on them once or twice a year.
They build hunting blinds and stalk whatever they’re hunting. I’m very impressed with them!

Sorry to derail your thread a bit!

Just be careful if transporting one through NJ.
Them wingnuts made it a felony to be caught with one.

I did that a few times for Squirrels while Deer hunting! Worked for me.

You can do it but you'd better be ready to run up and step on their necks real quick while they are still stunned. I've shot a lot of rabbits with a slingshot and it never killed them outright. It did slow them down enough for me to come grab 'em.

Them spruce grouse must just sit there a lot were shot on the Alone show with a bow to get that many consistently from non-bow hunters they must be easy.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Killed plenty with just rocks.
There is a way to hunt with thrown rocks that is deadly,learned it from the Cree.
Its a group effort,but grouse are easy enough one person with a handful of good sized rocks.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
