2016 grouse population

[Sander]

I was out in 6.01 fishing last weak end and the grouse were drumming lots. There were all so lots of geese and ducks flying around. I was up at about 3500 feet so I guess things are just getting started.

As I've said on here before June is the critical month. If it's dry it should be a good year.

we must be near top of the cycle, lots of birds up here,last year was really good and I hope this year will follow as good.

No but region 2 has put forward a motion to make blues leh only better only get 5 tags.

Lol I heard that was due to the heavy FN blue harvest in that region last year..

This ^^

It was a HUGE year for grouse in the Peace last fall, and I saw more over the winter than I usually do. These few days of snow & misery won't be a problem, as the chicks haven't hatched yet. If June is decent & warm, there will be another great season this fall.

Saw another Region 2 ruffie on Friday or Saturday. Two so far this year... not as many sightings as last season but they're around. Hopefully it's dry enough for the little cheapers but damp enough to keep the rivers happy and fires at bay.

It's been pretty wet and cool for July in region 2. Any effect?

I havent seen the numbers i would normally see in reg 3 but still seeing a few. I predict a slightly worse than average year in my area. Hope im wrong cause my nephew just got his license this year and he's pretty keen to get some blood on his hands.

I went up last weekend to the area I hunt in 3. I saw a few deer and a bear, a few ducks. Not a sign of a grouse. Doesn't mean they aren't there, just not where they usually have been, and not when I passed by. I hope I can find them come Sept.
