Hi Lonnie, this is the coolest snaring video I've ever seen! I've hunted grouse a lot over the years, so I know how they perch in the trees, and I've thought "I could probably club one over the head", but I never considered snaring them, that's awesome! Rock On!
I live in Alaska i shoot grouse all the time, That said i started this video thinking "great another internet expert there is no way this is going to work." Well now I eat crow, Well done Sir i am very impressed. Wish i was half the bushman you are. My hat is off to you that was awesome.
I don't know how I missed this one, but I'm glad I found it! Good job Lonnie! I see in the comments how people wonder how stupid these birds can be. On many occasions I have had 4 or more in a spruce, one or two on each of three branches. I would use my 22lr and start with the lowest bird and just keep knocking them off one after the other. The upper birds would just stay put until I shot em. But if you shot one of the top birds and it fell past the others they would all scatter. I fed my family of six several times that way :-)
Rob Mc technically not just what you call billhillies use this technique we too use this from northern Ontario but with snare wire but anything works if ur in a survival situation even roots from trees work
Great vid Lonnie, with all the cold and snow that must keep the Grouse hunkered down to make it easier to snare. AWSOME job.Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge in the woods.
Oh my, that was one of the greatest videos on survival. Just wished you took us through the cleaning process. Looked delicious. Thanks for the info. marty
Well done Lonnie you did a great job with it, here sometimes they are a bit skittish when the wind is blowing. Sure looked good in the pan & thanks so much for the mention in the description, very much appreciated. Take care my friend, hope your wife is feeling well, all the best from Labrador ...!!!
***** Thank you. Yes Connie is doing much better. She is now no longer wearing her sling and she is able to do a little more each day with that arm. All the best to you as well from Alaska USA
Well that's about the coolest thing I've ever seen lol. This one and your winch video... love em..Great job Lonnie, and it's awesome to see someone speak so openly about Christ. Most people I run across don't want to hear about it. God is good! Christ is good! Thank you for such great videos DavidC
If I ever make it out to Alaska it will be to meet you in person Lonnie and your lovely wife. I thought that moose hunt was somethin now you show us how to get Grouse on a stick! Good stuff from 5 years ago
Nice to see this is still done occasionally.When we were kids we used to catch willow grouse and sometimes a prairie chicken for supper.tks for jogging the memory.
KevinDufflev You say you used to "catch" the birds. Were you doing the catching in a similar way to this video or something different? It would be interesting to hear your method. Glad I was able to bring back good memories.
yes exactly the same although often we used snare wire.Sorry I don't know how to make videos or could show what I did.Sometimes we would just make the sliding "noose"and tie it close to the end of stick and snatch rhe birds from the back side.tks Kevin
When I first started this video...the first thing I thought was ," this guy has lost his marbles..." Well, all I can say is , I'm impressed. I've done some crazy things, but this I'll have to try.. Thanks for showing us.
Amazing! Over the years men have lost the survival skills many of your videos discuss. Glad to see you share your knowledge. This last weekend two friends and I camped in the northern PA mountains (-20 F at 5am when we got up). We made a tarp teepee and used many other tips I picked up from your videos. Thanks for doing what you do.
Robert Blakely Sounds like you had quite an adventure. Hope your "teepee" was heated. You may have to move to Alaska to experience warmer weather lol. I don't think we have reached minus 20 here all winter this year. Too little snow and too little cold this winter here.
I did that exact same method last season around a dirtbike pit but I did it with a copper snare wire. My friends were throwing rocks at it and trying to kill it so I had to show them how it's done. :-) Hats off to you from Central Newfoundland.
That is a pretty much sure fire way to feed one's self if required. Great video,as usual. You do a great job of keeping it real, and down to earth. I always heard of clubbing them with sticks or pelting rocks at them, but this is great for a more sure way of retaining the bird if you have once shot at getting him. Also great to sneak up a tree like that. Minimal energy expenditure on that one! You and Connie inspire my wife to get outside and enjoy creation together. Take care.
Aaron Perrott Thank you my friend. Glad we are a positive inspiration for you two. I have tried many times to "club" with sticks, shovels etc... and to throw rocks etc.... The trouble with that is that I'm a terrible aim lol. This method works great when conditions are good for it.
Great idea. Never would have thought of that. Something to put in my bag of tricks. I know you and your wife ate good that day. Great video. Thanks. Ronnie,Texas.
I've really enjoyed watching some of the videos I missed before getting on line, I think the idea of the snare pole was a pretty nice idea. Lonnie I enjoy your mind.
Catherine Perrett Thanks my friend. Yes I perhaps know at least some of the memories you are referring too I think. It brought back to *my* mind perhaps very similar memories as well.
Hands down this took the cake I just loved it .good show there lonnie I cant stop laughing it was amazing the way you snuck up and lassoed that chicken i will be trying this out hopefully next fall during the hunt again great vid brother.Andy
Whoa!! How in the world did you even see the grouse! I'm amazed that the grouse allowed you to get 10' close to that tree, never mind being able to snare it! Definitely good eating.
This grouse is the Spruce Grouse variety and it was on the ground when I initially approached. It flew up into the tree when it got too uncomfortable with my close proximity. I then came back 15 or so minutes later and checked in the tree and it was still there. That was when I snared it.
Nicely done! I hope to try that method one day. I always have cordage on me, I just never seem to find the spruce grouse when I am out in early winter before the grouse season ends.
Wintertrekker Thanks my friend. I was very fortunate to find the grouse as I wasn't looking for grouse at the time. I just happened to have spotted him as I was on my way to an old lean-to shelter of mine.
wow very cool! I was watching thinking it was a great technique to demonstrate but I did not think you would get it since there were so many branches in the way. VERY nice job! I have to say that looked so good cooking in that cast iron pan I could almost smell it. :)
SouthPaw Bushcraft I didn't think I was going to get it either. I finally found a place almost behind the tree where I could weave the stick up through. "smell-o-vid" it is a new experimental technology that RUclips is trying out. They asked me to beta test it with my cooking grouse. lol Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks.
Hi ya Lonnie! Good catch and looked awful tasty! I don’t think we have these birds here n Oklahoma. What I learned by watching...I work graveyard shift, sitting n my truck after work, (cold temperatures) as the sun came up I noticed birds popping out of the bushes, this told me bushes were a protection from the elements. Just for fun I constructed branches in an A FRAME for them to roost, covering outside with weed grasses. Hours at the window watching, birds checking it out, going n to and out of it. I then knew I had a way of obtaining food (this was before RUclips and after I experienced hunger) now I just have to figure out a trap system. Thank u Lonnie
Great technique! Outstanding dexterity on your part Lonnie, thanks. I could never hope to sneak up on a quail or partridge, or any game bird here in PA and do that. They are too smart. If I buried myself in the snow and stayed there all night, maybe... I`d have to practice for months, I think! That frying pan full of game bird makes me hungry and jealous. Be well, Joe
1fanger Thank you Joe. To sneak up on a bird, it helps if the bird is dumber than dumb. lol Even I can catch these birds when everything is just right.
Brilliant yet another fantastic video very informative and original! So refreshing to watch your videos not doing what everyone else does copying what other people do but showing unique skills that I've not seen elsewhere that are to the point easy to follow no dragging it out extremely useful and beneficial in a survival situation. I have learn d an immense amount I didn't know before from just a handful of your videos so far here in London England, so thanks again and keep up the great video tutorials etc! Great stuff!!
Martin Thanks Martin fro watching and Connie and I want to thank you for subbing as well. It means a lot to us to have each and every subscriber and viewer.
Nice catch , you looked a bit out of breath there friend and as soon as I saw the meat in the pan I felt instant hunger lol . God bless you and your family xpeacex
great video again Lonnie, when i was a poacher we used the same device to catch pheasants from the trees at night lol, I know lots of ways to catch game and willing to share if you wish. God Bless.
Electronicpoacher1 I'll bet you *do* have some stories to tell. How about you do some videos of different ways of catching game. I would love to see them.
PaddleBunk It is a very unique experience to have done this. Once a person realizes that this is possible under certain circumstances, it opens up new possibilities in survival situations. I wish you luck when you do get a chance to try this out.
Amazing Lonnie,I'm a couple years behind but i have never seen anything like it,very cool! Someday i will maybe drop my secret for turkey fishing.Peace,& Merry Christmas,it being the 22nd of Dec.17
Brilliant that is the exact same method we poach pheasant at night in the fir trees, nice to see the system, it works great and with night vision you can take a lot of birds. disclaimer I of coarse never poached in my life, LOL.
Yumma-Yumma boy that bird sure looked good there in the skillet. It's hard to beat the goodness of food that was taken directly from nature, especially when it is from unspoiled nature like you have up there, and when it gets fire seasoned.
DocLarsen44 The grouse *was* good eating and you are right. It is great being able to eat meat from nature knowing that it isn't full of unknown chemicals.
Lonnie that was great! If I were stuck in a survival situation alot of your ideas would be in my mind. THAT WAS AWESOME. I know grouse to be ether very timid or very nervous. It looks like you got him from behind... ? Yes / No ? great video!!
Dennis Smith Thank you Dennis. I actually was slightly behind the grouse and off to it's right side. He / she definitely knew I was there. I did *not* sneak up on it. Most times of the year grouse will not allow you to get that close.
Of course if you only have one foot of cordage you can tie to the end of stick... then just move stick down or sideways to tighten the noose. natives say the more you know the less you carry... so much wiser than snooks...Thanks for going full circle in your vid.. the action shots are priceless
+Snooks Palmer Yes you are correct. That method can sometimes work as well. One does not always have room to maneuver the stick though and that is where the way I did it comes in handy if a person has enough cordage. I also agree about the importance of "knowing more" and relying less on stuff to get you through.
Hi Lonnie, this is the coolest snaring video I've ever seen! I've hunted grouse a lot over the years, so I know how they perch in the trees, and I've thought "I could probably club one over the head", but I never considered snaring them, that's awesome! Rock On!
You are an encouragemnt! Thank you Lonnie and Connie for sharing yourselves, your skills and wisdom.
I live in Alaska i shoot grouse all the time, That said i started this video thinking "great another internet expert there is no way this is going to work." Well now I eat crow, Well done Sir i am very impressed. Wish i was half the bushman you are. My hat is off to you that was awesome.
+peter bernheim Thank you neighbor for the kind words.
Nice work!

They are that dumb here in Washington State as well
I know I caught one while snow skiing, I just ran up on it and picked it up it's crazy how there are still grouse in the woods.
They think their camo works too good cocky birds
Dadgum! You made a fishin pole and caught a chicken in a tree? Billhillies are so cool
Rob Mc technically not just what you call billhillies use this technique we too use this from northern Ontario but with snare wire but anything works if ur in a survival situation even roots from trees work
Best video of a core survival food procurement technique that I have seen in a long while. Just great to watch
Josh Bowerman Thank you Josh. Thanks for watching
I've never even heard of this before. I gotten them with sticks and rocks but, never heard of this technique. Awesome job!
Gotta say, that was extremely impressive. I never knew grouse were so unobservant LOL
Great vid Lonnie, with all the cold and snow that must keep the Grouse hunkered down to make it easier to snare. AWSOME job.Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge in the woods.
This man is truly amazing every video is so informative. You are truly a wealth of knowledge
Oh my, that was one of the greatest videos on survival. Just wished you took us through the cleaning process. Looked delicious. Thanks for the info.

Lisa Goodman Thank you Marty. It *was* quite good tasting.
Well done Lonnie you did a great job with it, here sometimes they are a bit skittish when the wind is blowing. Sure looked good in the pan & thanks so much for the mention in the description, very much appreciated. Take care my friend, hope your wife is feeling well, all the best from Labrador ...!!!
***** Thank you. Yes Connie is doing much better. She is now no longer wearing her sling and she is able to do a little more each day with that arm. All the best to you as well from Alaska USA

We had a fire inside, kept us a "little" warmer.
Robert Blakely A little is better than nothing, I'm sure.

Lonnie you are a true bearded woods wizard, everyone can learn from your knowledge and wisdom 😊
Great skill and excellent video! You are an awesome teacher!!
Great idea. Never would have thought of that. Something to put in my bag of tricks. I know you and your wife ate good that day. Great video. Thanks. Ronnie,Texas.

I've really enjoyed watching some of the videos I missed before getting on line, I think the idea of the snare pole was a pretty nice idea. Lonnie I enjoy your mind.
Good job sir thanks for showing that William has a lot of good vids hope your wife is healing good and you are well to God bless Glen
Trayer Wilderness Thank you Glen. Yes Connie is healing well. She is out of her sling and is using the arm more and more.
well done Lonnie, watching that bird cook brings back good memories.
Catherine Perrett Thanks my friend. Yes I perhaps know at least some of the memories you are referring too I think. It brought back to *my* mind perhaps very similar memories as well.
I tip my hat. You're a legend Lonnie. Wiow. Who would've thought. NICE.
That was a great job Lonnie........I have never saw this method before .....Take care Digger
robert k Thank you Digger. Glad you liked the video
wow, never seen grouse snaring before, awesome video Lonnie, looked wonderful in the skillet.
discgolfer78 It *was* good tasting. Glad I got to introduce you to something new. Thank you
Hands down this took the cake I just loved it .good show there lonnie I cant stop laughing it was amazing the way you snuck up and lassoed that chicken i will be trying this out hopefully next fall during the hunt again great vid brother.Andy
Boreal Bushcraft Canada Thank you Andy. It is a great experience to do this successfully.

That's a fine capture of a male spruce grouse. I caught several when younger but instead of string or rope , I used wire for rabbit snaring.
What an excellent trap and catch. Thanks for the lessons brother!
Nicely done! I hope to try that method one day. I always have cordage on me, I just never seem to find the spruce grouse when I am out in early winter before the grouse season ends.

trollforge Thank you my friend. Glad that I had the opportunity to introduce you to this unique method of harvesting
Another very informative video. Thanks Lonnie.
Anthony Hammond Thank you Anthony. Glad the video was informative for you`.
Well done Lonnie. Ihad a friend used to do this back home but William is first I saw.
Tossdart William is also the first I have seen use this method and is the one where I got the idea from. Thank you.
Hi from NH.
That was very cool and to catch it on video very good job.
Jason
primalarcher Thank you Jason. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Well Lonnie and Connie will not be going hungry, ever. Great work, well done. mww
Michigan WoodlandWarrior yeah, DIY is also cheaper than buying it at the grocery store.
Michigan WoodlandWarrior Lol Thank you MWW. Glad you liked the video.
Your skills are outstanding sir.
Good to see a new video! Since I starting following your channel, I am really looking forward to them. Keep it up.
Martin Thanks Martin fro watching and Connie and I want to thank you for subbing as well. It means a lot to us to have each and every subscriber and viewer.
Had me fooled there. never thought you would be catching one like that...Amazing
james peirce To tell you the truth, I didn't think *I* was going to catch it either. Thank you.
That was just so cool Lonnie glad you shared it
Pawoodsman Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Nice catch , you looked a bit out of breath there friend and as soon as I saw the meat in the pan I felt instant hunger lol . God bless you and your family xpeacex
AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing Lonnie!
imasurvivornthriver You are welcome. Thanks for watching
It looks like the wind is in your favor having all the tree branches moving
to help move the stick close to the Bird? Good job ! love fresh Grouse.
great video again Lonnie, when i was a poacher we used the same device to catch pheasants from the trees at night lol, I know lots of ways to catch game and willing to share if you wish. God Bless.

Very nice! And looks delicious
That was awesome. I never would have believed it had I not seen it.
Roy Alvstad I know how you feel since I felt the same way :o)
excellent video mate , i got a few old books with this method mentioned in them , it great to see it in action , nice one mate
That was Awesome!
Thanks for the info.
You amaze me.
That is the first time I've seen that. Excellent man!
+deadfish86 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. That is quite an exhilarating experience to obtain meat in such a fundamental way.
That was fantastic!!! Thank you for the demonstration!!! I am going to try this out
PaddleBunk It is a very unique experience to have done this. Once a person realizes that this is possible under certain circumstances, it opens up new possibilities in survival situations. I wish you luck when you do get a chance to try this out.
WoW what a great idea and demo that was cool going to have to try that out thanks for sharing my Friend God Bless
Yooper Digger57 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I wish we had spruce grouse down in iowa because I would like to try this, thank you very much for sharing this.
Zeb Masteller you are welcome Zeb
Very well done brother, very impressive.
Buzzardbushcraft Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Going to try this lots around here. Came home to one on my deck once. Lots of tracks around.
Amazing Lonnie,I'm a couple years behind but i have never seen anything like it,very cool! Someday i will maybe drop my secret for turkey fishing.Peace,& Merry Christmas,it being the 22nd of Dec.17
Wow, that was amazing, and that bird looked tasty! Way to go!
On The Balcony With Kat Thank you. It was pretty good tasting.
Where there is a will there is a way ,nicely done
Nicely done sir!
That was awesome. Thank you once again.
Dang Lonnie - that sure looked good cooking away in the cast iron skillet......yum.
***** Thank you Bernie. It was good.
Lonnie the snowman, was a jolly happy soul ...
Brilliant that is the exact same method we poach pheasant at night in the fir trees, nice to see the system, it works great and with night vision you can take a lot of birds. disclaimer I of coarse never poached in my life, LOL.
Way to go! We have spruce grouse here at the higher elevations....probably have a hard time catching a ruffed grouse that way.
Yumma-Yumma boy that bird sure looked good there in the skillet. It's hard to beat the goodness of food that was taken directly from nature, especially when it is from unspoiled nature like you have up there, and when it gets fire seasoned.
DocLarsen44 The grouse *was* good eating and you are right. It is great being able to eat meat from nature knowing that it isn't full of unknown chemicals.
Well I wasn’t expecting that to work! Brilliant
Great job Lonnie!
grantlandneil Thanks Neil.
Enjoy your meal Lonnie ;) Very well done! Thanks for showing. ATB Sepp
Waldhandwerk Thank you much Sepp and you are welcome. Wishing many great adventures ahead for you
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing
Very good information! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Marc
Scouting Free Thanks Marc. You are welcome.
That was amazing! Your a blessing brother!
wow. i cant belweive you can get so close. great work
Lonnie that was great! If I were stuck in a survival situation alot of your ideas would be in my mind. THAT WAS AWESOME. I know grouse to be ether very timid or very nervous. It looks like you got him from behind... ? Yes / No ?
great video!!
Dennis Smith Thank you Dennis. I actually was slightly behind the grouse and off to it's right side. He / she definitely knew I was there. I did *not* sneak up on it. Most times of the year grouse will not allow you to get that close.
youre welcome Lonnie! You have set the bar for grouse hunting hahahaha! Ive got a few here in Canada where Im from. Love your vids
Amazing. Way to go Lonnie.
I caught one!!! Now what? How do I prepare/gut it? Very impressive!
Great video, you made that look easy....thanks for sharing!
Paul Sheils You are welcome and thank you Paul.
Amazing as always brother!
st. baptiste Thank you brother. Glad you enjoyed it.
love your videos I'm surprised your channel not growing faster, you have a lot of good content.
Tony Stites Thank you much. I am going to be putting out more videos now (hopefully) and we are hoping the channel will grow faster as a result.
Of course if you only have one foot of cordage you can tie to the end of stick... then just move stick down or sideways to tighten the noose. natives say the more you know the less you carry... so much wiser than snooks...Thanks for going full circle in your vid.. the action shots are priceless
+Snooks Palmer Yes you are correct. That method can sometimes work as well. One does not always have room to maneuver the stick though and that is where the way I did it comes in handy if a person has enough cordage. I also agree about the importance of "knowing more" and relying less on stuff to get you through.
Well done, Lonnie!!
You are my hero already to tie that small noose twice with cold fingers.
very nice tehnique!excellent tutorial
MountainMan Glad you liked it MM. Thank you.
We had sage grouse in Wyoming where I ate a few. That one you have looks to be another type from what I ate.
Yes. This grouse here is known as Spruce grouse.
holy smokes....good job..........i bet the grouse just thought it was just another windy blowing branch
Nice Job. Looks good in the pan
Turtle Bushcraft Thank you. It *was* good
Wow very nice Lonnie! Good Job!
MonkeyMIkes Outdoors Thanks my friend.
Welcome, that was quite awesome.
Excellent vid.
