Tips on Hunting Sage Grouse without a Dog | Written by Brandon Moss

Hunting sage grouse without a dog -- is there such a thing? The fact is that many people hunt birds without a dog. Lots of times a big game hunt will need to add some diversity to the hunt, resulting in a walk with a shotgun. Other times people just want to get out in the uplands but don’t have the connivance of a bird dog or maybe just do not want one along.
