i spent 3 days up at mt baker hikin, drivin, working the dog... saw one bird, out of shotgun range... but that was it... 

only thing i saw were a couple robins, a ton of squirrels, and probably the biggest rabbit (hare?) ive ever seen and... oh yeah and one grouse.... needless to say it was alot of fun seeing my dog on his first official hunt... but it would have been alot nicer to have a nice grouse dinner..... my regular spots did not produce...... i was east of glacier the entire time... was i too high cuz of the rain? would love some input... could somebody pm me a suggestion of a spot where i would have a good chance of comming home with sometihng?

This is a bad year for grouse, at least in the areas I've been spending my time. I haven't even bothered to hunt grouse, there just aren't any. I think I've seen two all summer, and I've been out a lot, scouting for deer. I should have seen hundreds by now, with all the time I've spent in the woods.

i've hardly been out.  the old road i did most of my hunting on got sprayed with herbicide and it killed of all the good forage, and the "grouse alley" i found on rayonier land got locked up about a month back(and it's about 6 or 7 miles in)

We seen more grous ethis year then aver before. Saw several a day but was only to make one kill with the shot gun and lost a arrow on another.

It seams to me that we seen all our birds on the edge of the old growth forest areas, and what i would call "sub alpine" areas. None in the repods or clear cuts, except on the edge of the of the old growth.

Went out yesterday. Drove up and down logging roads and did a lot of hiking(4 hours). i didnt see a single thing . Just as I was driving back down the mountain I saw one scamper along the road. My buddy blasted it and we had dinner! Just when you dont expect to find em they're right in front of you.

I live in buckley bonny lake, get up to wilkason drive the main logging roads until you get to some of the overgrown spur roads then get out and walk about 1/2 to 1 mile if you don,t see anything go to the next and start again, sometimes I won't start hunting till I see one wile driving

I was at work one time a few years back and saw a grouse.  Of course I didnt have a gun, but I snuck up to it and was able to cut its throat with my pocket knife.  Cut my thumb in the process as well.   Something I will always remember.
