I'm in Vancouver as well and relatively new to Grouse hunting. Love to hook up and look for birds sometime. I know a few spots in the area we can try out by Wahkiakum and I've always wanted to check out the clearcuts up around Toutle.

Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested.

I'm not seeing the numbers of birds this year compared to previous years. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Clark County usually has the the most grouse taken in the State. It will be interesting to see if those stats. hold up.
