Black grouse

Tetrao tetrix
The Black grouse is a colourful game bird and the male bird is easy to recognize by its split tail.
The male is black and has a red eye brow while the female is more greyish and willow-brown to the colour.
It is one of Sweden’s largest birds as the male can reach 60 cm in length and have a wing span of 80 cm.
The black grouse can be found through-out Sweden and reside on wetlands and in the birch forests.
Black grouse’s diet consist of leaves, seeds and insects. During winter it mainly eats birch buds and spends its time under the snow when not feeding.
The black grouse is famous for its spectacular courtships.
In the spring their characteristic sounds fill the forests of Lapland.
We hunt black grouse with pointers and free running spitz dogs that holds the birds at bay, calling/luring and extreme cross country stalk-hunting.
The season starts the 25 August until the 15 November. Between 16 November until 15 February only cooks are allowed to shoot.
