Nice job on the grouse. I went out this morning for a quick 2 hour hike and didn't put one up with 3 dogs, in the same area I flushed 2 by myself the day before while bow hunting. Oh well, thats why it hunting and not shooting i guess. As faras the scent on the wingis concerned, I have kept them for a few weeks and my Brittany has been able to sniff themout still, but they started to get a rotting odor after that. So, freezing might help, but I would say they seem to keep their scent until they aquire the new rotten smell. Hope that helps. Good luck with the new bird dog. I have a seven month old black lab, and man does he ever love to fetch. All day, everyday.
