Eastside upland Hunting?

[ellsworth]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I got out today and saw a blue grouse, and ruffed grouse in about an hour of driving.  Didn't connect on anything, but I thought i'd give an update.

They are extremely hard to find, maybe the weather?

Hope everyone is having a good season.

You really need to hunt with someone that has a dog to have consistent upland shooting. Grouse you can do without a dog pretty easily.

I upland hunt with a dog.... Some times I think I upland hunt for the dog.   To see a good pointing dog work is <in my opionion> as much or more fun than any shooting. 

My advice would be to find a guy with a dog.  Offer to be a blocker if need be.  And watch a dog work.  If watching the dog work dosen't impress you, then go jump shoot a duck or get your deer.....
