Title: Wyoming Sage Grouse
Post by: Uplandbum on August 12, 2021, 09:02:16 PM: Has anyone made the September trip to Wyoming to hunt sage grouse? I am headed there for about a week in September with my 3 pointers to knock sage grouse off the bucket list if I can. Wondering if anyone else who has made the trip is willing to share information about their hunt and hunting sage grouse in general.

If I were going I would be looking at the area that would be inside of a triangle with the three points being Lander, Rock Springs and Rawlins.

I saw good numbers years ago in the Sweetwater station area north and south of highway 287 / Sweetwater River.

Take pictures and let us know how it goes.
