Nothing like waking up to pheasants, chukars and quail singing their songs right now.  You are on the wrong side of the state. :)

You say that like it's a bad thing. Grouse can be, and are, every bit as challenging to hunt as any of the rest.

There are more species of bird to hunt east of the mountains but there are also more rattlesnakes to worry about with regard to your dog.

grouse are my favorite of all upland birds, but the grouse hunting is so much better on the east side of the mountains. there are just more birds and the cover is a lot easier to work with a dog.
