WalleyeDrifter Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Is anyone seeing any grouse out there? I've been out twice in the last week with little success. Small pines, alder lowlands, blowdowns; none held any numbers. It was cloudy both times I was out. Sunshine would have been helpful. While I was on the trail, I found several areas where grouse had scratched thru the snow looking for food. Probably looking for clover.

OnAFly Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I got back from the Isabella area on Sat night. Only saw 3 birds in 2 days. Lots of sign, but the birds were nowhere to be found. I'm guessing the weather had something to do with it. It was raining/sleeting/snowing the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlong Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I was up in the Iron Range for Thanksgiving and was able to make it out a few times. Pretty much the same report here. I was able to find tracks but not able to locate birds. In two days of hunting I was able to get two and flush a few others but really slow for what had been a great year. I seem to have problems locating birds once the snow comes so I have to figure out where they go. It was snowing both days so they could have been in the trees where my dog could not scent them.

besmith Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Heard from a few friends up on the Iron Range that they're starting to covey up. Hope you've got a good dog - it'll be harder to find `em the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

401TE Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I've been out a few times recently. Most days you don't see a bird, some days you see 10. Much slower than before deer season. Not sure where the birds go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
