RGS Biologist speaks on Habitat and Landowner's issues."Grouse and Woodcock Hunting and Habitat Management" an evening with forest wildlife expert Rick Horton, was hosted by the Twin Cities Chapter of the RGS. In this year, near the bottom of the grouse population cycle, Rick had tips on where to find the drummer-of-the-woods. Rick also filled us in on the state of Woodcock populations and how to help this curious little bird.
Rick informs and educates on the Ruffed Grouse and it's habitat needs, and talks about the mysterious population cycle. He provides a multimedia presentation complete with video of a drumming grouse caught in the act. Landowners were encouraged to come and ask questions relating to habitat improvement on their property. RGS publications were handed out on forest management and wildlife.
Gander Mountain in Maple Grove was our venue this year.

Need to leave a little less air between your shot and the target?
Practice with a new shotgun?
Get to know your fellow grouse hunters at a non-competitive shoot?
Raise a little money for grouse and woodcock conservation, and the lunch is on us! Metro Gun Club in Baine is our host for a fun shoot- for practice only. Shoot two 25-clay rounds, with lunch and prizes following. Swap stories (and maybe a few lies) with gunpowder in the air at the range. Then follow the smell of brats on the grill, set up a camp chair under the shade trees, and we’ll do the cookin’ before the raffles.
Staff King of King’s Shooting sports will provide an instruction demo to take a little mystery out of breaking those crossing shots. Skeet is a game with targets thrown from towers at your right and left, with shooters moving through 10 station positions. The term "skeet" refers to an old Scandinavian word meaning "to shoot." It stands for a competitive target shooting sport that was invented in America in 1920 by several Massachusetts men who wanted to improve their aim before hunting season.
Clays Shoot at Wild Marsh Gun Club July 30, 2005
Raise a little money for grouse and woodcock conservation, and the lunch is on us!
Wild Marsh Sporting Clays near Clear Lake was our host again this year. This was a 100-clay NSCA sanctioned shoot (open to everyone), with lunch and prizes following.
We swapped stories (and maybe a few lies) with gunpowder in the air at the range. Then followed the smell of brats on the grill, set up a camp chair under the shade trees, and we provided the cookin’ before the raffles. Five side event shooting games challenged us: Towering Grouse, Grouse Walk, Woodcock Flurry, Annie Oakley, and Fast & Furious Grouse.
Sporting Clays is the closest thing to actual field shooting of all shotgun sports. Rather than using standardized distances, target angles and target sizes, sporting clays courses are designed to simulate the hunting of ducks, pheasants and even rabbits. Six different sizes of clay targets give the participant the experience of actual hunting conditions, so you can see why the sport is so popular with hunters.
Our host, Wild Marsh Sporting Clays, is an outstanding facility that offers a variety of shooting opportunities on 80 acres of land nestled among the majestic norway pine and the mighty oaks of central Minnesota.
