Title: Grouse in forests near sequim?
Post by: TangoU on August 18, 2012, 12:53:46 AM: We're going camping near Sequim Labor Day weekend. I was thinking of taking my 9 year old out grouse hunting since Sept 1 falls that weekend. I'm not terribly familiar with the forest area around there. I'm not looking for anyone's nest or anything, but am curious if anyone has had success for grouse in the forests near there. thanks!

at least you were in the right place, I shot my first blue grouse on Palo Alto back in the early 90's.
