Upland Game Bird Hunters?

[Adam-011]

Does any one here Hunt Upland game birds (Quail, Grouse, Pheasant, Chukar). I am going To hunt some of these birds this winter its realy in my family. We raise alot of dogs (9 English Setters , 1 Elhew Pointer). My grandpa and all his brothers hunted these birds but mainly grouse.
I am just wondering.

Does Crow count? Just kidding, I've tried but you have to be careful in pennsylvania because the state bird is the ruffed grouse and I'm pretty sure you get in trouble for killing them.

No PA is big for Ruffed Grouse Hunting. My Uncle has two dogs in PA doing Grouse Field Trials.

Oh well ok, next time I'm out I'll blast the suckers there real skidish though. But duh you can say that for any bird. But the only birds I hunt often are crows because, your gonna laugh... they are smart little things. Also just wondering what do you prefer to hunt.

Well lol We have about 3 acres planted with corn and stuff and they will destroy the corn so sometimes u have to take care of them... But grouse are real skiddish and they will spook you when they take off cuz of how hard they flap there wings.
we use dogs and the dogs will go on point and give u time but alot of the time the dog gets to close and spook them.

Man do I love dogs, one guy I hunt with has mountain curs which are great for bear because they got this right pitched bark that spooks the bears and there real quick and smart to, thing is he breed his dogs a couple of years ago and offered me a free puppy and I turned him down and regret it now. What I'd really like to get is a catahoula leopard dog or american staghound. But if it was legal to use dogs to hunt deer in PA I would have a pack of scottish deerhound and irish wolfhound regardless of what I have to go through.
