Title: Eastside (Wenatchee area ) Grouse
Post by: nodak transplant on October 11, 2007, 01:22:36 PM: Okay, so I guess I have to wait a few days to wander the state looking for the on lone pheasant I can take a crack at...so in the meantime I think I'll go out for a bit o' grouse huntin'....anybody hunt them in the wenatchee valley area?

Someone in another post mentioned going north of wenatchee..."okie"?

I'm looking at a map trying to plan a bit...I see a variety of "wildlife areas" including Chilliwist, Pogue Moutain, Loup Loup state forest, scotch creek to name a few...no anything about those?

Post by: jackelope on October 11, 2007, 01:37:46 PM: not much...but if there's woods, i'd almost guarantee there's grouse.
whats the worst that could happen? head out and explore. those are all areas i'd love to get to know if i wasn't on the other side of the mountains.
