Nice work on the coveys. Unfortunately I think you may have been in one of the few areas that had good young bird success rates for a variety of reasons. I have been out for two hunts and haven't seen any young birds. Both these areas were good quality early season habitat, one of which has...

Nice work on the site, I believe the ebook will be awesome. I have been thinking about doing what you have done for a few season, but can't peal myself away from hunting long enough to get it done. I do have a few bits of strategies that I think most people have neglected to talk about if you...

Personally if I had the money and time, I would go with a semi guided drop camp in a wilderness area, or large road less area. I know several locations of these camps, and they are in prime public land areas, that are just straight up too hard to get into without horses. I have never used an...

My name's Ryan and I have a problem. I love chasing those chickens any chance I get. Keep me in the loop for a hunt. Would.love to see some new grouse country.

At least the Post didn't give up the location of that photo. They have wrecked quite a few great fishing spots over the years. Just for reference that photo is a great spot. In fact my two best hints this year have been just a few miles from there and a bit higher than ever it was taken. Many...

Nice work up in Routt. I have been waiting for someone to chime in with reports of great bird numbers. I hunt a bit south of Routt county and have been seeing huge bird numbers. To the tune of 10 to 25 birds per hour walked. Seems other than opening day I have been into mostly young coveys...

Here is the link for the adoption form. Evidently they will get back to you tomorrow after filling one out. http://eapl.com/edit_adopter.php Did you get the link to work for his page to read about grid. This is really all the info I have, my breeder sent me this.

Just got this sent to me through some wirehaired friends. Sounds like a great dog just in need of a new home. I mentioned to the lady friend that maybe our GWP needed a playmate and got shot down pretty quickly. http://www.eaplwestminster.com/?p=5143

So very sad to hear. Wish you the best. Not sure if you are looking right away, but I came to the forum specifically to post about a GWP(actually maybe a DD) in need of rescue. Maybe its sign. Here is the link http://www.eaplwestminster.com/?p=5143 His name is Gruff

I know there is GWP nation wide set up. I was talking with a breeder in the Denver area who had connections with it. I think it was Ironwire Kennels out of Parker but I can't be sure about that. We looked for a rescue for awhile, but ended up getting a pup out of a mistake litter, turned out...

We found about a dozen birds both sunday and monday but only took two shots and that was at long birds... they were in some of the thickest cover I have ever found blues in, hopefully they move into meadows shortly. As for the hard mouth, these guys had all the right tips. I let my gwp pup...

For what it's worth I wouldn't be afraid to hunt up high this early in the season given the really high temps forecast. Think about all the areas that are miles from anything under 9k feet. The grouse aren't moving twenty miles to get to a lower elevation for broods. They are just having chicks...

Both Breck and Vail offer plenty of grouse, but for that matter any mountain town west of the divide will have blues around. More important is where in a given area the birds will be. Some helpful hints...... Know the difference between spruce trees and pines, way more likely to find them in...

I have hunted over and been around plenty of Bear Point Kennel dogs for the last half dozen years or so. They have all been great to be around, and more often then not in the upland fields have blown my mind as far as what pointing labs can do.

Nice work...good looking pup and SxS. Seems like I may have hunted a few days with you up in the mountains earlier this year.
