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

Season for grouse will be open I will scouting for moose sign two days before opener

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

ahh 2 days before moose opener not grouse opener , didn't catch that the first time.

check legal equipment and if it is go for it

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.

Yeah it is legal I called and asked just thought it would be something different and a challenge

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

If your a decnt shot with the slingshot,,you will have no problem.

David killed Goliath with one. How big are their grouse?

They are ruffed grouse not as big as the blue grouse I have shot in Colorado

It can be done!









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!

Nice pictures I guess anything can be done!

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.

JP --- those pics rule! Nice job.

Nice photos! Wrist Rockets is what it looks like they have.

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.
