Total LOSS!

I guess instead of grouse hunting in September I'll hunt bears. And in November and December, instead of pheasants, I'll hunt coyotes.

Thats my plan too, I was really pumped for grouse season this year.

Quite different here, tons of chicks hundreds some are flying.  The other day there were 60 chicks around me at the same time. Many broods of 16 or often two pairs with so many it is impossible to count the brood, like a herd of mice.

So what general area is "here"?

grouse wise Im coming across chicks just starting to fly in hancock,but not the amount I would like to see..I am seeing a lot of adults

Was in the Yakima area this weekend.  Did a rough loop of Naches-Wenas-Selah areas.  Saw lots of pairs crossing and along side the road but no chicks.  Here in the SE corner the only chicks I've seen recently have been Hun chicks.  No quail or pheasant.

Second batch is off and its a good one.  Lots of chicks and nice weather for them.

Seeing grouse chicks of all sizes out there. Should be a good year from the number of chicks I have seen!!

Wenatchee is toast for upland birds. 

I've got 5 nests within 50 feet of my house and so far 6 broods in about a 4 acre area.  More than we had last year.  Even kicked some huns out.  Lookin good up here.

Finally!  Just saw my FIRST batch of Quail chicks with mom and dad up at the house today.  Looks like they just hatched.  They are still very small, and I counted 13.  Hopefully there will be another batch pretty soon from the other adults.  Usually by this time fo year I have seen several groups hatched.  John

I saw 2 chicks, just hatched, last week in East Spokane.  Numerous pairs still being seen with no chicks.

Didn't look good around the methow this past weekend.  Drove around in the hills all weekend and never saw a grouse.  Very few deer too, too hot for them I hope.

[seth30]

well the heat and the thousands of people in the area

[thinkingman]

Saw tons of quail chicks driving around Lk Chelan over the weekend.
Not sure if that matters but hoping for lots of grouse and pheasants.
