I never hunt grouse and rarely see them. I took this picture on Friday.

Looks like a sooty/dusky (formerly blue) to me. Where was this (will help some with ID)?

Douglas county? Really? Sure looks like a blue grouse but I didn't think there were any on that side of the river.

Yeah, I think then that it's technically a dusky grouse (again, the species that was once "blue grouse" has split into two, because ornithologists seem to love to do that).

I have hunted this place for 5 years for deer and chukar and have never seen a grouse. I was surprised as well.

It's a blue/dusky grouse.
Did you get him?

I know a few places in Douglas County with blue/dusky grouse, mainly timber patches high in the breaks above the Columbia. That's a male.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when. No habitat = no game.

Wow, guess dad was right. " Grouse are never where they are suppose to be, they are where you find them."
