Whenever someone posts asking how to find grouse it is always suggested that: "do you have a dog? if you do take a walk through a logging slash?"
So, me and my lab took a walk through a slash today after my morning deer hunt with predictable results (no grouse). It seems to me that the Grouse I see are always a short flight from a tree that they can hide in and a slash doesn't provide that. So, are any of you guys with dogs having success with Grouse in slash?
The couple grouse I did see today were the usual side of the road ones, one guy I was right onto of but he disappeared into the tree. Their camo is so good I never saw him again. The other guy saw me getting out of the truck and ****ed right off, bleh, so frustrated. Really wanted to get a bird for the dog to fetch up
