Grouse season opens tomarrow in my area. Limit is three. Hoping to get my limit of BLUE GROUSE ( name has recently changed to Dusky----- I hate name changes). Can't walk much any more so some of the best areas in the mountains I can't get to.

Often thought of hunting them seeing their habits are much different than the ruffed grouse which are much more wary. Blues are a larger bird and quite impressive. The altitude was approx. 10,000 ft.
Many of the blue grouse that I encountered could have been killed w/ a slingshot using a single ball....in fact had 6 blues running around w/in 6 ft of me and wouldn't flush. These could have been killed w/ a stick.
Good luck when hunting.....Fred
