Haven't seen as many grouse out here in Northern BC.
I've heard rumours that next season might be the first time you're going to have to buy a tag for grouse..
Ill believe it when I see it.
On the other hand, Ptarmigan are in great numbers. Can't walk 20 steps in the bush without flushing one.

Ha ha...yep...you called it.
Just got back from ten days around Gowganda and Temagami. Birds were pretty good in both spots. Was finding a bird every 20 - 30 minutes around Gowganda, and a bird every 45 minutes down in Temagami.
Hunting pressure was pretty high in Gowganda. I'd run into three or four groups each hunt, but with the exception of one group they were all road hunters, which I is like a parallel universe if you're hunting on foot with a dog. No problem to put up birds on roads that were hunted constantly, there's plenty of birds sitting tight ten feet into the weeds LOL.
Decided on a whim to shift down to Temagami for the last few days. I went more for the scenery; I didn't expect the hunting to be as good, but it was still pretty decent.
Thinking of heading back up the first two weeks of November. Anyone have an idea of what the birds are like west of 144 around Gogama? Thinking of swinging over that way this time.
A few hero shots of Lola... Just over a year old now, this is her first season on birds.

Much better this year, I hunt about a hour North of Saskatoon and last year I saw two and got none. This year I have seen probably ten and managed to get one big fat one. They are very skittish, but I have seen some everytime I am out.

Few in far between where I was taking plenty last fall. Not a hallmark year by any means here.
