	grouse
		The opening of the grouse shooting season in the UK is August 12th, lovingly referred to by generations of sportsmen as the "Glorious Twelfth." It is, without doubt, the most celebrated day in the shooting calendar.
		The red grouse is a species unique to the British Isles and is generally found in the uplands of the country, particularly the north of England, Scotland and the northern part of Ireland.
		Red grouse are mainly monogamous, the cocks staying with the hens throughout the rearing process and the family tending to stay together as a covey late into the year.

	grouse - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about grouse
		This member of the grouse family inhabits the high mountains, remote forests, and tundra of northern latitudes around the world.
		Grouse are native to North America and northern Europe.
		Among the most familiar are the red grouse (Lagopus scoticus), a native of Britain; the ptarmigan;; the ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus), common in North American woods; and the capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and flcock (Tetrao tetrix), both known in Britain.

	Pennsylvania State Bird - Ruffed Grouse -Bonasa Umbellus
		The Grouse approach the banks of the Ohio in parties of eight or ten, now and then of twelve or fifteen, and, on arriving there, linger in the woods close by for a week or a fortnight, as if fearful of encountering the danger to be incurred in crossing the stream.
		I have said this much respecting the flight of Grouse, because it is a prevalent opinion, both among sportsmen and naturalists, that the whirring sound produced by birds of that genus, is a necessary effect of their usual mode of flight.
		Should the Grouse, however, run into a thicket, or even over a place where many dried leaves lie on the ground, it suddenly stops, squats, and remains close until the danger is over, or until it is forced by a dog or the sportsman himself to rise against its wish.

	Grouse, grouse hunting, hunting
		Grouse hunting goes like this: You find a grouse woods, make sure it's OK to hunt in it, and then walk through it, with or without a partner or a dog.
		Grouse twist, turn and accelerate as they fly through the trees; you have about two seconds to make sure no one is in the way, point your gun and get off a shot before the bird is out of range.
		Grouse are hard to hit because they almost always surprise you, because they are in range for only a couple of seconds, and because a shotgun doesn't point as naturally as your finger.

	GROUSE IDEAS
		The objective of this is to keep young grouse, whose immune systems have not yet "toughened up", away from parasites (such as worms, mites, etc) and bacteria as much as possible.
		I never medicate my grouse unless they are ill, or sharing a pen with one that is, and I rarely medicate or worm grouse by putting the treatment in their drinking water.
		This is because frequently grouse will not use their water founts for several days, preferring to get their moisture from the green foods they eat.
