4 birds

[northwoodsman]

i decided to go out yesterday, went to
deer river forest on co rd 144 saw one
so i treked on through the woods nothing
so i left and said to my self maybe at blueberry ski- slopes i'll find one and boy did i.. i scared three didn't get a chance
to shoot them so i walked on down the slope
it was called red pines if anyone knows what i'm talking about. i walked up this small hill i saw a white tail deer turned around and headed back.. once back at the top. i saw a grouse on the ground had my chance was 20 ft away was using my wides .22 rifle i shot and missed. oh dummy me rattled the ammo case and scared the bird it flew off i tryed following it through the brush. it was long gone it was a dark brown color. i was thinking to my self if i go to my in-law next month my father-inlaw is going to give me a marlin 12
Ga O/U shotgun this one is no longer being made he took real care of the gun so next time i go out i'll bag me a bird

Is it legal to use a 22 for grouse?

[Reef Runner]

No!! It is not legal to use a rifle for any kind of bird!!

[Surface Tension]

Regs say a rifle or handgun of 22. cal can be used for Pheasants and Hungarian partridge. Says nothing about cal. restrictions for Grouse.

[Crossin' Eyes]

According to the regs, as the law pertains to rifles, you can use any rim-fire cartridge, but no centerfire cartridge.

This brought back memories from my rabbit/grouse hunts when I was a kid.
Used my Glenfield 22 bolt action to dispatch many a critters. Used the same rifle during my Gun Safety Training in 1969.
Think it cost 40 bucks brand new back then. About that Gun Safety class, it shows up on my drivers lis as an endorsement. Kewl.
