Title: SW washington grouse hunting
Post by: jsharptooth91 on October 05, 2011, 01:24:17 PM: Hi all,

I have been out a couple of times for grouse around the Larch Mt area. Haven't seen much. Is this a good area to hunt at?

This is my second time going out hunting. By all the research I have read, they should be found down old logging roads in the mourning and evenings.

Also, if anyone going grouse hunting/bird in SW Washington and would like a partner, shoot me a pm.. It would be nice to see how this is done. :IBCOOL:
