It's Labor Day Weekend, time for my annual grouse hunt. It's not really a hunt--more like taking the 870 for a walk while scouting for elk sign. If I see a grouse that's a bonus. the next 2 months are the best time of year--golden aspens & bugling bulls.

Right now with this cold wet weather, dove season don't look good
If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

Cold wet weather? Wow, we have not had a rain since May!
We will be out for grouse the first.. My elk hunting area is not a good grouse spot though!! Best of luck.

I am going out Thursday morning for the opener for grouse. Going high for mountain grouse. It's too Damn hot and dry around home to hunt sharptails,Huns & doves.
It's 94 degrees right now and is supposed to be hotter the next few days.

Hope you find some Elk.

I'll be on the Uncompahgre Plateau doing much the same with the exception of having a fall turkey license.
You going to be up Smokepole?

Yep driving up either Thursday evening or Friday morning, then me and the one-eyed wonder dog will be out looking for bears.

You guys are making me cry - I grew up on the plateau, hunting and just plain wandering. I cannot count the number of arrowheads I found, or the chokecherry bushes that we would pick for Mom to make jelly and syrup from. Good luck to you all!
