I'm heading to Mason County this weekend for my first grouse hunt of the year. I'll be mudding up my new layout blind for the waterfowl season and sighting in my rifle for deer season, so it's a multipurpose trip. I cleaned out my deep freezer last weekend and made a big batch of duck/goose jerky to make room for 2019/2020 season. My chocolate lab caught wind of duck and has been giving me that look all week so he's looking forward getting out this weekend as well. Seattle area hunters exist, but I wouldn't call myself an upland hunter. The weekends between coho fishing season and deer/duck season, I try to give to the wife, but grouse always find their way in there.
