Ultimate Upland Hunting Shotgun? | Northwoods Grouse Hunt: Our friend Ben from OnX invited us to attend the 42nd annual National Grouse and Woodcock Hunt. On❌ Hunt ⌲ https://targetfocused.link/onxhunt Code “TFL20” for 20% discount. This event is put on by the Ruffed Grouse Society and American Woodcock Society. So we packed up the rig, grabbed the Upland Gun Company 28 gauge side-by-side, and headed to Grand Rapids, Minnesota. It turns out that Ben also has a custom 28 gauge from UGC. But his is an over-under. So, which one of these shotguns is the ultimate grouse machine? We hit the Northwoods together to find out. Let’s go!
