Idaho grouse opens on Saturday. Thinking of a NR small game license to get started over labor day weekend.
Have some hikes I want to do between priest lake and Bonners ferry. Any grouse reports for that area? I'm thinking blues up high on the ridges around 6000+.

Ugh, I saw four today in the Idaho mountains.🤣

Thanks Dave! That helps.

I'm visiting family in southern Idaho in early October and am planning to chase some blue grouse and chukar along the way. Probably around McCall (grouse) and NW of Boise (chukar).

Started the grouse season out in Idaho yesterday with a limit by 9am…
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Was out I. The hill today saw 20 grouse in four different groups.

70 grouse in a 42 mile loop this evening while scouting for mule deer. Should have strapped my 20 gauge to my pack instead of carrying the .22 with me.

Feels good to finally get one with a gun and have a day off though. Been tormented by grouse every day at work since the opener.

Well, DRAT! The score is Grouse 4, Dave 0.  But Saturday will be here shortly, and Dave is out for PAYBACK!
