Looking for grouse!

[xfioramaster18]

Hello guys,

I'm a new hunter from lower mainland, and looking a good spot for grouse hunting.
Could someone share their spots?
I did some research on Norrish Creek FSR& Ruby Creek FSR, do you think that would work?

Ducks work for me too if you can kindly point out some public lands&lakes that within 2hrs drive from Burnaby. I'm looking for a quite place to practice so I don't disturb other experienced hunters.

Thanks!

I’ve seen a few hanging around just past the bridge on Norish. Only problem is you have to get past the trolls. Good luck!

I didn't check the regs but is grouse still open to hunt? Don't be surprised if you don't find any since the stupid ones are long gone since September.

I did get curious and just checked the Regs and they are still open to the 15th. I had packed it in a few weeks ago - I wasn't interested in just grouse but maybe I could have gone for a walkabout scouting for rubs and other game signs. Missed an opportunity I guess.

Well you do have a little time to get out there so a drive up Stave Lake might be in order or the little lakes around Maple Ridge - Whonnok Lake area - check the regs and the Fraser Valley single projectile ban and then you'll probably need the liability insurance.

Walking train tracks trough good areas might also be something to consider but please observe all Laws and regulations.

Hello Rieber, thank you so much for sharing Ya, it's closed now so I'll have to wait until next year. I'm going to try some ducks instead, do you have any good suggestions on hunting ducks?

Sprinkle sand or spruce needles on the road and watch them come running in

Baiting for grouse. Is that even legal?

It's more of a joke. But it is what grouse will feed on in the morning

Waterfowl = ducks/geese not grouse
