Any of you CO guys ever specifically target Sept blue grouse? I have hunted them a couple of times years ago in New Mexico (without dogs) & we always managed to pop a few incidentally over the years with judo points as excellent camp meat while archery elk hunting - but I would really like to...

My first full season of living near pheasant-country couldn't have ended any better! Just got back from 3 days spent from one end of eastern CO rooster-land to the other - hunted the southern end of things near Burlington on Thurs, the northern fringe around Holyoke on Fri, & finished up right...

Anybody with experience in the area know which hotels in both Holyoke & Yuma are the best, most economical & most dog-friendly for hunters??? I currently have reservations at both Golden Plains in Holyoke (???) & Sunrise Inn at Yuma (???) - but would greatly appreciate a quick heads-up if...

Just put my wife on a plane today for FL & I leave for some very serious, heavy-duty missions/humanitarian work in Africa next Tues - but be4 I do, the pooch & I are gonna give dem roosters all-we-got one last time & hopefully end the season with a...

Work & responsibilities have gotten the best of me this time around & I am unable to make my weekly day-run to the pheasant fields! Y'all tell me some good stories & send some pics, so I can at least live vicariously thru someone else's adventures until next week...Man paybacks are h#&!, but I...

Anybody interested in the possibility of hooking-up or meeting onsite for at least a part of my trip in nw/nc KS for a little teamwork on some of those wily late-season roosters, with hopefully a few quail in the mix??? I am planning a 2-3 nite/3-4 day grand-finale of sorts KS hunt somewhere...

I am thinking of trying to make my first run to KS ever as a grand finale of sorts to this current season - a 2-nite/3-day hunt (MAYBE 3-nites/4-days on the outside-chance I'm really lucky) sometime between the wknd of the 23rd & the final/closing wknd of the 31st (and preferably midweek just...

Went to a completely different area than the usual yesterday & had to scratch for em' a little harder this time around - but still had some beautiful textbook flushes in some of the prettiest CRP grass-cover I have ever seen (not too bad for this late in the season)...Two of us & three dogs...

Let's just call this one "THE UNTOUCHABLES", taken on an 8 degree & snowy afternoon here in my neighborhood backyard in Denver foothills suburbia...There were actually over twice that many in the herd, but I liked this closer-up pic the best because you can see the animals much better...Didn't...

Before I spill the beans, please notice the specific order in my title - it is prioritized that way for a reason - if more of us hunters as a whole would start GENUINELY coming across a little more as being concerned for someone else over ourselves for a change, it would do wonders for our image...

Dec 9th with sub-zero temps & a fresh blanket of snow with drifting was the best pheasant hunt of my life to date...We saw pheasants everywhere we went - in the evergreen shelterbelts, in roadside ditchbanks, in the middle of the road picking gravel, in the corn, in old abandoned grown-up...

Does anybody know how much cold and/or snow & for how long before we stand a chance to lose some of the surplus birds during such a beautiful CO year for pheasants??? Also, if a buddy & I do brave the elements & get out rooster-chasing these next couple of brutal days in which the birds should...
