Grouse hunting and all I saw; Black Bears

[BRICKBURN]

The dogs had fun and I got to check the rifles out at the "range"
The 375H&H is still on the money and so is the 300WM.

A nice quiet river valley up in the Rockies.

This Black Bear was just about to become a new rug when out popped two yearlings from behind the spruce.
Oh well, you can't win them all. Nice to see the family working the slopes for berries.

Great picture of the dogs. Looks like a wonderful place for a walk even if no grouse.

That's a fantastic photo of your Springers. Too bad about the grouse. Good luck next outting.

Makes me be both excited and dread Colorado here in a couple of weeks. Those mountains are going to kick my butt.

Brickburn, I was in Quebec last week with my dogs and had 25 to 30 flushes on woodcock and at least 5 to 6 Grouse a day .....
How far are you from Quebec ?

On my Colorado muzzle loader hunt I saw more bears than I did elk. I also ran into a lot of dusky grouse (blues) but all I had was my .54 so I passed on all of them. I need to get back up there with a shotgun, but then I won't see a single one.
