Undesirable folk shooting grouse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rogues

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'undesirable folk shooting' is the definition.
Although both the answer and 'shooting' are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun.

'grouse' is the wordplay.
'grouse' can be anagrammed to 'ROGUES'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rogues that I've seen before include "Wild animals driven away from the herd" , "Varlets" , "Rascals" , "'Dishonest, unscrupulous persons (6)'" , "'Scoundrels, charlatans (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
