[DUCKJ]

Any truth??

I don't believe grouse can be domesticated, if that's true then they would have to trap wild birds and I have never heard of anyone doing this other than researchers. I doubt it's true but I guess it could be.

I have heard of this with chukars, but not grouse

An old teacher of mine used to pen raise grouse. So it can be done. He told me the same info you heard. Get a couple of flight clipped birds and train your dogs with them.

Mabe it is an old wives tail???
