Do you wanna go Grouse Hunting, or are you new to hunting?

That's what I was thinking carpsniperg2

Nice! I'd love to head over and explore the "real" west side. Just let me know when/where to be!

[Swannytheswan]

I'd be up for it! I'm not new to hunting but I've never got any grouse!

[BiggLuke]

Really? you've never shot a grouse?

[Swannytheswan]

nope mostly squirrels & deer (in TN) for me so far haven't really hunt any birds cuz growing up I didn't really have anyone to take me hunting (my dad thought it was a waste of time) kinda learn all on my own and I didn't have a shotgun so when I went to the woods it was either with a .22 (squirrel/rabbit) or my 30-30 or a bow(for deer) Since I moved out here I have really only had time to hunt for mulies but this year I'm gonna try real hard for bear. I hunted for elk here once during modern down by Mt St Helens and after I lost count at 500 trucks going up the mountain and no seeing a dang animal I haven't gone back I will prolly try it again some day but not till I have time and money to properly scout the eastside (screw the wetside during modern I don't like barrels pointed at me all day).

Bad news is you will have two barrels pointed at you on the East side. Pretty crowded over there too. Going to be a real mess this year with all the road closures.

I guess I'll pass then but still two is better than 500+ seriously I was afraid an elk was gonna walk out above us and we would get mowed down by the firing squad above

Where in TN did you live? I moved here from TN in 2001, Knoxville area

[Swannytheswan]

Sparta which is half way between Nashville and Knoxville moved here in 2008

Good to have another "redneck" here

I'm not new to hunting, nor to grouse - although the grouse I used to hunt were in northern Maine. I grew up there and hunted every fall for partridge and whitetail deer.  I've been living in WA for 11 years now and I hunt whitetail and mulies in Eastern, WA now with some friends.

I'm located in Silverdale and would love to chat with ya sometime. Been a long time since I shot a partridge, or grouse. 

Shoot me a PM if interested in meeting sometime to chat.

I have been trying to go out for about 3 years deer or upland bird hunting and have never seen anything. I would enjoy the opportunity to go with someone who is experienced!

[Swannytheswan]

saw one today but I didn't want to blast it with the 30-30....

[BiggLuke]

ha... good thinking.
