Project Upland

If you haven't stumbled onto it yet, this a site worth checking out:


A partnership between the Ruffed Grouse Society and Dangerous Cow Publishing (I know, strange name but talent often comes wrapped like that), this series of films shot in grouse and woodcock coverts really gives the flavor of hunting these birds. 

While fishing films abound, good videos about bird hunting are rare. This is no collection of staged shots by guys clad in brand new gear. The subjects wear flannel and hoodies and their gear is often as worn as yours and mine. And they love to hunt birds.

I'd really recommend watching "Why Project Upland - Behind the Scenes" first, then moving on to the others. It gives a pretty good background and sets the tone for what you're about to see.
