Title: Hunting Grouse in the middle of the day?
Post by: Ellensburg on September 11, 2010, 12:39:28 PM: I have been hitting the gravel roads /creekbeds w/my pup hard. I have bagged 2 nice grouse already and a rabbit last night. I was wanting to go out again today but I wanted your guys input on hunting grouse in the middle of the day. It is 55-60 degrees in the hills. The other day I saw some at 2 o clock in the afternoon along the road... You guys ever see much during the middle of the day?

Thanks for the input, I will post some pics later.

Not sure temp makes a huge difference unless it is a really hot year.
