New To Grouse Hunting

[CP]

I’ve hunted ruffed grouse back East, in Minn & WI, haven’t hunted here yet but I will Monday.  The grouse that I have seen in WA are very different birds.  Frankly, they are about the stupidest birds I’ve ever seen; I’ve walked or driven right up on them and maybe they walk a few feet away or fly into a tree a few feet away.  Maybe this will change when they start getting shot but the only challenge to them seems to be finding them.

the secret to finding them seems to be, get out of your truck and walk. Hit some of the side roads that are blocked off.
