Grouse Locations`
« on: September 07, 2012, 09:41:07 AM »
Been reading up on grouse hunting recently as I've never hunted them unless I'm looking for deer as well. Anxious to get my new pup out on her first official hunt and am wondering if anyone has some good suggestions for places to hunt. Not looking for anyones secret hole of course, was thinking of maybe trying to adventure on some logging roads between Monroe and Stevens pass. Any suggestions?

Wow first post and already asking for spots b :yike: :bdid:ut not honey holes lol
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

Not a ton of help but shoot me a pm with your email. I know of some areas that with a bottle of water and a few hours you should be able to scare a few up. I won't even suggest c-post as a hunting spot. Scouts honor.

Grouse tend to like certain areas.  If you find a place where there are grouse, keep going back there.  That's where you will find them consistently.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

don't forget D- post, or E-post, or the completely overrated F-post.

find a gated logging road and go for a walk. get up and out early and the birds will be picking gravel along the road.  if the first road you pick doesn't produce, find another one. rinse and repeat.

Isn't there a ruffed grouse club in seattle/king county?  They might know the close by areas.

I see a ton of grouse while mushroom picking. If I had a dog that's where I would head. Look for areas with young timber, that's thin enough underneath to walk through but not let too much light in. I could give you some areas but I am a long drive from you for some grouse

yeah you must be the guy I saw with the grouse in your pack...only dude who knew what he was doin. I was wonderin if you might be on this sight. Tried that road you recommended below the gravel pit with no luck. I need to get my dog practicing with some wings so she can get on the sent better. Let me know if you ever wanna show me a thing or two out in the field sometime.
