Grouse question
« on: September 16, 2010, 08:35:29 PM »
Do they come out in the rain?  I decided to take my kids out and stretch my knee a bit.  Went to a spot where I was told grouse hang out.  Didn't see anything except fresh bear poop.  Do the grouse hide in the rain?

Don't usually see them in the rain, they are usually trying to get away from the rain (in the trees, under brush). One of the best times to see them is just after it stops raining, they will come out and try and dry off.

Best hunts for grouse I've ever had have been after a long nights rain.  Hit the logging roads right as the suns coming up and they are all over sunning to get dry and picking gravel.

Take a trip up a gated or old logging road.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
