A rare bird around these parts, but I have seen a couple over the years around Castlegar. One was sitting on a fencepost singing the oddest song. Wish we had them, as I wonder what they taste like.

They taste really good. More of an appetizer, but succulent like young grouse. Can't throw a stick without hitting one is the south okanagan valley. I have a 12 acre lot and have about 5 groups of 30-40 birds.

zaconb,

I'm in the same boat. I can't wait to hit my Blue grouse hot spot. I've been working my dogs hard. I have a 20 month old English Pointer that is gun shy. My other is almost 4 and she's a bird hunting machine. I can't wait.

Yup, love bird hunting!!
