Began sorting my stuff for this falls upland season.. Grouse opens Sept.1 along with dove.. Not many doves here..often times blue grouse can be excellent..
Got my model 97 12 ga. out and my Rem. 870 28 ga.. Will dig out the 870 20 ga. later.. Plan to kick of the season with #6's in both guns.. Hope you have a good season..

I'm all packed up and headed for camp in the morning.....
I missed my annual opener Grouse Camp due to fires last year so I have some catching up to do....
Been seeing a lot of Grouse on the few trips I took to the woods this summer so I'm optimistic....
I'm planning on spending four days and then head home before the Labor Day commandos with the four wheeler's and 22's get too thick....




Providing me and the old dog can last four days.... frown

Lots of birds around this season. We are going to stay close to home for the next couple weeks hunting mountain grouse and huns.

3 trips to eastern Montana planned so far, might even sneak in a 4th.

The dog is ready, so am I.

Field, how did the grouse hunt go?? We have only gotten one, the first eve. Just before a big storm.. My favorite cover failed to produce for the first time in 15 years.. Not sure what is up with that, but the bow hunters had been all over the mountain.. Maybe they got them for stew before season opened... Good luck..

We had our annual 'kids day' on Monday and the kiddos killed 139 total. Had I believe 13 or 14 kids this year. Shooting was pretty slow at times, but enough to keep them interested. Dad's shot the evening and came away with another 73. Got my new lab some work and showing promise. My boys shot 11/87 12ga, I used a M12 in 16ga that I just picked up and took out on its maiden voyage.

It rained a little this morning and we got lazy so I went sharp-tail hunting.

Fairly breezy but at least didn't have to worry about starting a fire....
