The wife & I hunted Blue grouse Wednesday & Thursday. We limited out both days. Wednesday was a easy day. We saw a total of 13-blue grouse Wednesday morning. We took our limit of six birds & looked for elk on the way home. We found one herd of elk that had around 20-cows, 1-spike bull & 1-5x5 bull. We saw 6-cows feeding all by themselves two miles farther down the road. We also saw 2-black bears.
Thursday was a long day of bird hunting. We still filled our limits (6-birds) but we had to work hard for them. We saw a total of 12-blue grouse. We saw the same herds of elk as we did the day before in the same general area. We also saw 3-black bears.
I am scheduled to work this weekend. I feel a cold coming on opening day.
