For the folks who have hunted Wash. Grouse longer than the past 2 years... do you think Grouse will open on the 1st? Or the 6th?
Much thanks in advance,
Still a rookie,
Tracy

My wife grew up in a non-hunting family (not anti-hunting, just non-hunting), so all of this was a bit of a shock to here when we moved out here in 2001. Particularly the part when her "baby" (the 9 year old in the picture-he was 2 at the time) came running in the house squealing and holding a dead grouse in one hand and a dead quail in the other... I have a picture of that somewhere too. I'll post it if I can find it...

In trying to put together my "big" annual vacation leave request, I noticed that this year Labour Day is almost the 2nd week of September, the 7th. I have tended to think of Grouse season as beginning on Labour Day...
'Labour Day?'
You ain't from around here, are ya?

LOL - actually I am. Born in Chehalis (that was the big city - my dad was a Forest Ranger and we lived on the edge of Randle) and raised from K-12 in Tacoma. GO LEOPARDS! then GO MUSTANGS! and finally GO TIGERS! In fact, the only time I lived outside of Western Washignton was 2 years in Michigan, and that worked out poorly. Came home with my tail tucked, as it were.
The habit of using the Brit/Canookian U is my dad's fault. I'd put some sort of explanation here, but frankly there isn't one. My dad just is. :P
Oh and beyond grade 12 - [bgcolor=#ffff00]GO DAWGS![/bgcolor]

There are no grouse in Western WA, I live on the Sultan Basin road and take my two dogs grouse hunting almost everyday in Sept. In the last 3 years I have shot 2 grouse.
The last couple of years I have seen more grouse then in the previous ten. They must be on an upswing.
