LT Murray

[dmv9]

Is this worth scouting for grouse/quail?

[D-Rock425]

Maybe grouse

When I was younger and ignorant, I spent a number of years rifle hunting deer & elk here. Burned a lot of boot leather and rarely saw or heard grouse. I did find a few covies of quail just inside (and out) of the gated entrance near Hunters Rd. Far better places to go for both birds.

seen some grouse in the area.  although I dont target them, i do see them from time to time.  mostly down low by the feed station(watts canyon)

[boneaddict]

I've noted lots of quail and some chukar, but rarely any grouse.....suppose it depends on what portion of the LT you are talking about.

[dmv9]

Any upland bird would be good. I'm still just trying to scout out general areas.

So their are quail, awesome.

Thanks.

Lots of grouse up around peoh point

I've got a grouse hotspot there, but it is good because I keep it a secret.

It's a big area, in the timber there are some grouse, in the range/sage you have quail and the occasional pen raised pheasant, in the steep rocky areas there are some chukar.

So, I've dialed this in to "somewhere around Cle Elum" but what does LT Murray mean or where is it?

Its been years since I've hunted LT (miss it) but never had much trouble finding grouse. Spent a lot of time around Hutchins Canyon, Robinson Canyon and Joe Watt. Put the hurt on a lot of yotes there as well.

Anywhere in particular? No, no not the GPS coordinates, in what kind of habitat?

[amosmoses]

Lots of snakes in Robinson canyon this time of year. Bee careful!
