I had a dream once - I was walking along a trail and heard two guys off to the side saying to themselves...there are no grouse in there. I turned and said...it looks pretty grousey...there are grouse in there. The two guys again said there are no grouse in there.
Just then a grouse flew out from inside the bush, in between the two guys, and I tapped it between my elbow and my side...grabbed it...wrung it's neck, and handed it to them, saying...I told you there was grouse in there!
I remember waking up laughing. I dreamt a lot about grouse back then.
On a more related note, while at the trap club I seen a bird flying fast and low across the trap field towards the parking lot, me and some other guys were standing in. As it came closer I saw it was a grouse (lots of grousey looking forest around the club), it came so very close to me I could easily have swatted it out of the air, and even thought about it, but knew it probably would not have gone over very well, being out of season and all.
