Grouse! Let’s See Them

Finally got my first ruffed grouse of the season (and a bonus snowshoe). I think we flushed 8, but only had shots on 2 and only hit 1. I’m gonna wait until some of the leaves are off to head back to that cover. Should be pretty good hunting in a few weeks.1D1C9D39-B8DC-477E-8C87-93EBE637116E.jpeg

Thank goodness for judo tips when you are elk hunting, so you can keep from coming back empty handed…

There’s a scene in fresh tracks where Randy and Michael are elk hunting and get into some grouse, and Randy says, I will use my FINEST arrows and my BEST broadheads for a grouse 😂😂😂😂 cracked me up!!

That said, I’ve never found them from preventing me from losing the arrow it’s attached to! So I just use my “dullest” broadhead for the birds..
 
It's been a banner year for birds around here. Especially Blue Grouse. My daughter got her first grouse.

Opening weekend in CO was good but forgot to take any decent pics, still early season conditions.

Weve only seen one female in 4 total days of hunting, no family groups up high yet in our normal spots, but imagine that is changing fast as the weather has finally turned more Fall-like.

Pup had a nice point on a pair of Bombers Thursday at a new scout spot, managed the easy one and spent 5min trying to get his highness to look at the camera only to notice he’d gotten his right arm through the vest.
