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
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.

Good Luck Bob no better time to be in the Mountains than September. 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.
Bean----Maybe next year we will be scouting for a moose!
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!

Have seen quite a few grouse up around 11k feet while scouting
