Well I was supposed to be searching for work today, but the sun was shining and I didn't get a chance to do any hunting on the weekend so I went hunting instead. I wanted to try and get all three species of grouse in one trip, as well as explore some different country than I normally hunt.

Unfortunately the ruffed grouse didn't want to cooperate but I still had a good day. The day started off with one Blue down and one missed, which was a good thing because right after I missed it was flying off a pretty steep rock face. Then about twenty minutes later I sluiced my first bird of the year a Spruce grouse. The little bugger just wouldn't fly



I wanted to try and get a shot of the orange eyebrow of the blue with the red of the spruce, but it didn't work. I'll have to get PGK to give me some photography lessons.


One more back at the truck.


Finally some scenery shot from the end of the road. Some from Kamloops will probably recognize.
