Hazel grouse in Eurasia is very social and is easily called, I'd think if it were easy to call either ruffed or spruce grouse it'd be common way to hunt. The videos you posted do not show any calling, just curious grouse (there are many vids like this) and the story about the rocks, well, again, could be curiosity, I doubt it'd work consistently and I only believe about half of what is published in magazines

Tried once only got voice mail. My problem would be the look on the dogs face she already thinks I have issues

I call grouse all kinds of things while hunting.

Whats their number ???

That is neat. I have never called them but I sure love the little fellows.

Got a week planned this fall to actually hunt birds and fish walleye with some buddies instead of moose hunting. Going to be fun. Maybe I will start calling.

If I have flushed birds and am looking in thick bush I'll make some birdy sounds to try to locate them. Lots of birds will call in response to birdish sounds.

If I've flushed a covey I'll let them call to each other as they regroup. Getting an eye on a bird always helps to anticipate a flush.

I've never tried to call in grouse as you would a turkey though.

When I've been hunting them, I always listen for their peeping to get a rough fix on their location, never dreamed they would respond to calling, nor knew there was a vocalization you could use to attract them. Thanks for this, I got to try it.

You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow because you stop hunting.

when it gets cold and you hear one start drumming you can tempt them in by knocking on the butt of your stock mimicking them.... my great grandfather used to do this than catch them with a snare on a long pole, my grandfather used to do it and than shoot them when i was a kid. its worked for me the few times ive tried it to

I make calls while I walk to locate as well. But I'll tell you this.. I could never shoot one that high fives me! ��
