Pro grouse guide: the bird's mystique, shooting better, habitat insights

Orvis-endorsed outfitter Rick Watson joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on all things grouse and woodcock. We'll nail down good coverts and bird behavior, shooting techniques, and dog handling ideas. 

We dig deeper into the mystique of ruffies, why setters are his chosen breed, and why "steadiness" is relative. There's a short trip to Georgia and Scotland, and one indispensable item he never leaves home without.

Our social segment shares some training gear you might want to try, and "Fix It" has a shotgun tip.
