Too early to think about grouse???

[Dave Workman]

I was attacked last night by a grouse, I almost stepped on it's hatchlings, pretty funny to have a puffed up grouse thinking it's a baddass ! 

Attacked by a grouse! 

That's awful. We need to call a special session of the Fish & Wildlife Commission and demand that "somebody's got to do something!"

 

I may get a chance to scout out one of my favorite grouse haunts over the weekend.

Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled for the August edition of Northwest Sportsman, in which I once again give up a couple of my favorite grouse hunting haunts.

I saw lots of grouse when I went to eastern wa outside of ellensburg about 3 weeks ago. Seemed to be pretty healthy over there.

It is NEVER too early to think about grouse  Ever!

I was up shootin' above my house this morning and on the way out on the logging road there was a good lookin' little ruffie picking at the edge of the road.  Little bugger saw me coming and actually came down the road toward me  I had to come to a stop and back up to make sure I didn't hurt him.  He was back pecking in my rear view mirror which is great since all I could think about was his breast browning in my frying pan this fall.............

Saw a big blue when I was up cutting wood the day before yesterday.  No broods though.  It's been a wet, cold spring....I'm not too optimistic...   Here's a pic from last year..

Great pic!

[Dave Workman]

Great!  All we need is another dyed in the camo grouse hunting fanatic.

Thumbs up!

Be sure to watch the Northwest Sportsman magazine in August for this image and the stories I'm doing on two choice grouse haunts of mine..

[Dave Workman]

Got an inquiry about the image above.

That's a Ruger New Vaquero in .45 Colt and I built the holster and gunbelt for it.  Now everybody knows

The other gun in this image is my Blackhawk in .41 Magnum.  Grips by the now-defunct Ajax Custom Grips.

Nice! 

Ice, if you're drooling on my leather gear, that's how I make a few extra bucks here and there.
I do primarily concealment rigs, however

Not to be a negative nellie, but I have been up the hill cutting a little wood, seen VERY few birds, all singles, no broods at all...   I think our wet, cold spring killed both hatches...
