I was up north deer hunting this weekend and saw several grouse. I was talking to a local and mentioned how close the grouse were and that I contemplated a pot shot but figured the 30-06 wouldn't leave much to eat. He said to just shoot into the ground just under them and the concussion would knock em out or maybe even kill em ever hear of that? I'm not sure if he was pulling my leg or not.

Thats how to take squirrels with black powder. Its called barking them. I guess you could dirt a few as well. It would most likely pluck the birds as well. LOL

It would have to be hard ground at close range...........not very dependable, in my estimation.

Ive took frogs by shooting close to them. Seems to knock them out or something.
