Grouse

[blink1]

took the boy out this morning for some grouse and maybe some rabbit in 2 19 didn't see anything :( thinking it might be still to warm ? I heard it should be a good year for them. What does everyone else think?

Took the dogs out twice this weekend for grouse. Went around the blackberries and every where there was clover and other berries. Nothing but wet boots this morning. Before hunting season they were around. Region 2-08.

When it's quite hot, poke about creek beds or sloughs surrounded in deciduous brush and trees, with or without water. Otherwise, head up to the top of high slashes about 3-4 years and older for blue grouse....you might also get a shot at pigeons if there's elderberry around. I have seen grouse along the Hoover Lake road, but it is quite long and steep if you're packing a heavy shotgun (they're pretty spooky for a 22) and for a youngster.

I have only seen 1 so far this season.

Iv been out alot this summer (6-04), doing trapline scouting and trail cams and such. Tons of chickens and rabbits, one of the best years in years. Lots of cubbys of 5,6,7+. I find early morning and right at dusk is when I'm seeing them the most.

havin a great year on grouse bagged quite a few so far with steelpulse, we got 7 ruffies and a rabbit today in region 3, two other days with 6 and 5 birds, few rabbits too, they aren't on the roads too much you have to go find them but it made for some great hunting today.

Went up behind Princeton on the 11th with my son, took all day but we managed to find a limit of 5. All spruce this time.

[BuckNaked]

I was out on the Chehalis FSR the other night a didnt see one single bird!

[solo]

Saw 15 last Wednesday in region 3. Only managed to nail 3, even the dog was disgusted with me! The underbrush is so thick still that they are hard to see.

I saw and heard a lot in region 2-6 in the spring and early summer but I haven't seen any since Sept 8 despite putting on a good 100kms on various trails and FSRs over the weekend. Classic.

[Cami]

Seems like they have a calendar. lol
I saw a lot a week before they opened and now nothing

[Glenny]

Spent the weekend up around Tunkwater. Nairy a chicken to be seen. Fishing was superb in Leighton.

[Brizz]

I've seen a ton of grouse in region 8 so far this year.

I saw a huge one on a trail in 2-2 around 6PM on Saturday. It flew up into a tree right on the side of the trail, but disappeared deeper into the bush as soon as I went to put my scope on it. He knew what was up. That was the only game I saw up there from the 12th to 16th. Tons of snowshoe hare around, but no opening for them in the region.

Should be really good in Francois Lake. Was Very good this weekend on the Stuart Cassiar.
2 of us got 7 without spending too much time. Was my first time out hunting, and I can't wait to get back out there.

Had a great time with my new pup in region 5. Saw a dozen or so in 2 days. Not many on the roads however.

[shuswapbear]
