After several "losses" this September and 2 more on Saturday and 1 Sunday (after a chase), I managed one on Monday morning.  FINALLY.  Was really feeling that this season was cursed.

Not to worry. Lots of us have had the same experience.
Good job!

I got a chance to harvest it again. If we had shotgun with us we will limit out in 15 min

Anyone still hunting grouse in central Washington this time of year? If so, what elevation are you finding them? What tactics do you suggest in the snow?

Mark they are still out there and for the most part do not migrate. They are a little harder to find as they hold in place a bit more unless more affected by Coyotes and hawks.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Went for deer/elk and instead got this guy with my bow. Love these little birds!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen
