Plate 36. A (Upper left). The modem hunter pursues grouse as a sport. 

 B (Upper right). To many hunters the grouse is the king of game birds. When a 

 spht-second shot brings a clean kill, they feel a sense of real accomplishment. 

 C (Lower). Man's use of well-trained pointing dogs has done much to make hunt- 

 ing a fine sport. In the early part of this century most of the pointing dogs of the 

 northern states were trained on grouse but today the majority have been "spoiled" 

 on pheasants and a top-notch grouse dog is a rarity. Photo hij J. M. Sloan.
