It is a violation to:... hunt upland game birds with a
centrefire rifle.
Upland game include the following:
* Ring necked pheasant
* Bobwhite quail
* Blue Grouse
* Ruffed Grouse
* Sharptailed Grouse
* Sage Grouse
* Hungarian Partridge
* Chukar
* California Quail
* Snipe
* Woodcock
* Scaled Quail
* Prairie Chicken
* Mountain Quail
Considering the above as a definition the varieties of grouse are all upland game birds. Notice Turkey is not included in the list, yet where I live you can only use a shotgun or rimfire rifle to hunt turkey. Turkey is classified as upland game bird in BC.
Yes it is still legal to shoot Ruffed, Blues, Sharptail and Franklin (not listed) with a rifle (any) in BC. It is not legal to shoot any other Upland Game Bird with other than a shotgun or a bow. I suspect many other non Saskatchewan jurisdictions are similar.
Yes it legal to shoot grouse with a rifle. Should it be?????
I vote
NO because there are too many Saskatchewanese/british out there that shoot at the centre of mass.[/quote]
Oh, I'm sorry, did I forget to say in Saskatchewan.
