Blue grouse habitat. When you are in this kind of country, keep your eyes peeled for Blue Grouse…

Hunted a different ridge today. Son shot the one blue we saw. Other son took a buddy on another ridge and shot a two person limit.

Opening day of Sage Grouse here in NW CO and I’m officially on the board for the 2024 hunting season. I should have killed a pair today, I had my opportunities, but I’ll gladly take the one I managed to scratch out. Especially without a dog.

This is the trophy sized bird you always want to get…

Trophy sized is the perfect description. Big duskies are as close to a home raised free range chicken as you can get.

They cost me a few arrows every year, but are damn delicious. I've gotten 5 so far this elk season.

View attachment IMG_0365.jpegI always enjoy when I get a red phase ruffed. A bonus spruce hen is nothing to shake a stick at either. (Unless you’re trying to get it to fly, then the stick may come in handy.)
