I'm heading out for my very first grouse hunt in September. But I may be hunting a couple hours from where I live.
People have told me in passing that they cut an opening under the grouse's throat and pull hard splitting the animal in two. They then pull out the breast meal and discard the carcass for other scavengers.
I don't see how they do that and should I be carrying large ziploc bags with maybe some blue ice to keep the meat cool?
What the heck am I supposed to do once I've shot the darn grouse and found its body?
