Hungarian partridge is my favourite upland game bird but their numbers are pretty low in my corner of the country so your pal ought to consider himself pretty lucky!
They look stunning & yummy at the same time.
JayColli, are the ruffed grouse hard to hunt...I did hear one when I was in Manitoba but did not get to see him...amazing sound!!Quote:

Thank you for that; very interesting! You stated in another thread about the hare season...the hare we have here, is the European hare first introduced in 1851 and is deemed a pest, albeit a delicious one!! Cannot imagine having a hunting season on them!!
What size shot would you use on the grouse?
