Flintlock grouse hunting

[Magungo1066]

Anyone do it? Hopeful to do some this season. Do you hunt any other upland game with your flintlocks?

Grouse season is very short here in CT. Over with already I think. Very, very, few partridge left.
I occasionally hunt pheasant with my flintlock, but mostly do that with my antique cartridge guns.

I have every intention of doing so at some point, though probably not this season. I have a .62 fowler, but it's jug-choked with a "special turkey barrel" and it's just not very well suited to grouse. I just dropped off a curly cherry stock blank and a sitting fox 24 gauge barrel at Dave Keck's for barrel inletting and my intention is to build it with a round faced lock and to try to find a reasonably consistent and fairly open load for hunting grouse over pointing dogs (I have English setters and pretty good ones if I do say so myself).

I haven't yet but I've got a .62 smoothie on its way to me that I intend to take grouse hunting this coming September...
