Generally we find them from 9800 to 10500

Kiva, It is addicting. It is the challenge and the beautiful country where they live. We went out on the first and did fairly well even having to go to our secondary spots. Make sure you read my post on sage grouse. We had a great day.

Finished out my weekend chasing blues. Sage on Saturday and blues on Sunday. Have to love the opportunities we can find here in Colorado.

I know I’ve said this before but there is no other bird I would rather hunt than sage grouse. The excitement of turkey sized grouse taking flight in a covey break is just awesome. September 12th was opening weekend of Sage grouse. We arrived at our parking spot along a small creek just at...

I’m glad my tips were of service.

Great job Kiva! Welcome to an addiction that you’ll never shake.

Thanks. Think she’s going to be a good one.

Kiva, Glad to hear you’re still fishing. I doubt I’ll have a chance this year unless I bring a rod when I hunt Blues..

Thanks. She was born on May 27th

She won’t be ready for early season but I think she’ll be ready for a few jaunts come January. Presenting my new Lab pup Ruby.

Great video as always. Teaching lessons to a young man that will last a lifetime. I remember fishing with my father. Times I cherish and will never forget. Reminds me I don’t get fishing enough.

The passing of a bird dog reminds you of your own mortality. It reminds you how short the seasons really are. It reminds you that every day not hunting will be a day lost forever. It also reminds you of the camaraderie between dog and handler. The great retrieves, the wet and cold days...

Saturday was opening day of my deer season. I was a bit apprehensive when I was getting ready to head out as it was 45 degrees out and dead calm. As we drove in the previous weeks snow became more apparent as we climbed higher. I mentioned to my hunting partner I hoped it wouldn’t be crunchy...

Hunting prairie birds requires dedication and perseverance. The seas of endless swailie grass and yucca. Miles logged under your boot soles. Hours of nothing. Your mind wanders. Miscellaneous thoughts roll through your mind. Your attention is drawn to the horizon the vast distances the few farm...

Hunting sage grouse is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. A great sea of sage lies before both man and dog. Sage grouse hunting is a matter of boot leather. You cover miles upon miles of desolate sage looking for a covey of birds and in a heartbeat it’s over. We started just at...

Well the 2018-2019 season has begun. For myself and my hunting partner that means grouse. We headed up Saturday morning to our annual spot West if the divide. We were a little apprehensive about getting into the area due to possible rain showers. The road gets a bit sporty when wet. When we...

Just drove back on Hwy 36.. Snow was slight but there was a layer of ice below. Roads are slicker than may seem. So if you're headed that way take caution or just go tomorrow... FYI: There was a rooster walking on the highway in Joes...

Sorry for the length of the post but I have been neglecting my weekly posts and observations. Well it has been an interesting season. The weather has been warm with the birds spaced out. Opening day was fairly good but the bird numbers didn’t seem to be there. We hunted hard in the cold...

Well weekend 2 in Nebraska was similar to the experiences we had last weekend. The temps stayed below 60 so it was comfortable for the dogs. First field we hit was very quiet. No roosters cackling, crowing and didn’t flush a bird so we headed to the next spot. Here the dogs put up a covey of...
