Soooooo many damn grouse!!

[B-rad]

Can't believe how many grouse especially blue grouse I been seeing this year,,,,,I took drive on my road up in barnhartvale and within 1 km stretch of road counted 36 blues in wide open chasing and feeding on grasshoppers,,,,,,,so I thought I'd take a drive to my huntin spot for whitetail,,,,,and counted another 18 ruffed grouse,,,,,gonna be good year for the peeps huntin birds this year

Hope this holds true, and for the Cariboo as well. Looking forward to putting some in the cook pot!

Soooo....hope this isn't a hijack, sorry if it is, BUT....I'm used to shooting grouse with my 22 and have good luck with it. I'm thinking about switching to a 410 so that I can catch the flyers too. I'm thinking 410 rather than 12, just to be a little easier on meat. Opinions?

I prefer the 410. Same way gramps used to get them.

The quail clutches are out of control this summer....perhaps the same for most birds in the southern interior, benefiting from the warm dry spring/summer.

We have been seeing lots of 5-6 and 10+ bird coveys throughout the kamloops area

Perfect timing for the youth hunters in region 8. Remember the youth only grouse season starts sept first.
Happy plinking some ditch chickens!

Better stock up on grouse tags.

Better stock up on grouse tags.

I will do that. And grab a couple of coyote tags as well.

Are grouse migratory like geese ?

My savage .410/22 is the way to go.

.410 is great for grouse!
