Highlights of a two Morning Grouse Hunt


Dez and Pepper on Point on a Ruff Grouse!

This year has been an excellent year for hunting Mountain Grouse!  The nice thing is the Dog work has been the best it has ever been from a finding and pointing perspective. 









Harley has finally had the light go on and figured out how to find em!  It has been very rewarding, she had one bird that she pointed on the side of a logging road rock solid, the bird was a mature male on the other side of the road.  I could see it and it could see her and it was all flared up and hissing at her.  She never saw it, I moved in and flushed it and shot and she retrieved.  It was one I will never forget.  It turns out after that retrieve, we found a whole family group right by where this male came from.  She pointed another of those that I took, then I just watched the rest flush for another day. 

We also had a moment where we got Pepper and Dez out on a logging road and they locked up right out of the truck.  We had a flush right to our left.
