grouse hunting
Pursuing game birds
Grouse hunting is the pursuit of grouse—ground-dwelling game birds—with shotguns, typically using dogs to flush the birds from cover.
In Britain, grouse shooting on Scottish and Yorkshire moors is a traditional aristocratic sport with a season opening on the "Glorious Twelfth" of August.
In North America, hunters pursue ruffed grouse and prairie chickens in forests and grasslands.
