Thanks. A friend at the local gun club is an avid grouse hunter, uses only the Red label 28ga, and gets many each year, though he has pruposely taken only a few for the past three years. He said their populations always swing low every 12 or so years, but they've been down for three years now.

It may be that increased 'yotes and fox numbers have been taking a toll.
They are very tasty but I mainly miss their drumming in the woods.
Lord, help me to be the man my dog thinks I am.
