You're doing it the right way; the way a dad ought to do things.  :tup: :tup: :tup:

I hope you get a bunch of them!  Try up around Black Pine Lake. Just a thought.  ;)

Heading out tomorrow !! I’m thinking about heading up near Snoqualmie pass near on some old defunct logging roads and walking to see what I find. Any suggestions what to look for? Trying to stay near creeks etc..

Well we woke up on time, had an incident with the dog bringing a LIVE MOUSE INTO THE HOUSE AND DROPPING IT so when we finally got in the truck it was like 9-9:30 and we had to stop to get a coffee in town because happy wife/girlfriend happy life. But we still found a nice patch of aspens(girlfriends choice to check it out) and in 10 minutes had 2 grouse down and left the other 6 as they looked pretty young. Our 2 year old dog did great on the retrieve, the other pup nearly swallowed the grouse whole. He is only 6 months old and of who knows what breeds.

Saw one, missed one. Ran into some other fellas who saw more but hadn't had much luck either. Got up there about mid-day though and only poles around a few hours

Went with a buddy today,No grouse but went up a dead end road turned around and came back down and a 7' diameter old growth fir fell across the road. No cell service but someone came up the road shortly after and went and called darrington fire dept. since the forest service guys are gone in alaska fighting fires.Those two guys cutting and us to moving it out of the way took 4-1/2 hours from when we started.Amazing how much wood there is in one of those.We only cut a slot to drive through.
Thanks again to the darringtonfire dept. We would have been sleeping out there tonight otherwise.

 Easy limits of Blues today. Ruffle bombs kept giving us the slip. They don't fly like a Blue.

Nice! Blues were the ones giving us issues, saw plenty but they wouldn’t hang around. Will be back up tomorrow, a buddy got 3 limits on the same road. The pup had a good time though.

Took my 7 year old girl out tonight and chased a couple but didn’t get any in the bag.  Saw some hikers though on the way to one of our hidden in plain sight places.    I love the trail difficulty warnings I get when I’m hiking with my kids.  “It’s a pretty tough trail for little kids”.  Yeah we’re not using the trail... and she’s not even hauling meat yet.  We’ll get em next time!
