Grouse

Grouse hunting started a few weeks ago we have made it out a few times and had some success. This year because we seems to have a good hatch and I have seen a lot of birds. Louie seems to finally be figuring these tricky buggers out.

Louie at the Basin, We had a good hunt and managed to bag one bird. I missed a big blue which would have been awesome. The Basin is really steep and when the blue got up I was so out of breath I could barely mount my gun. So we droped down into a canyon which held some Ruffies.

We have also been hunting The Corral which is one of my standard coverts that is a ton of fun to hunt. This year I have been hunting it a little different then years past and have been having success getting into birds. Last sabbath I was able to put two birds to rest, the grouse gods were good to me. I manage to get up about 5 flushes that day and connect on 2, not bad for me.
