Cool photo! I love being in the mountains whether I get my animal or not. I saw my first ruffed grouse here on my last hunt. They are normally lowland birds, but this one was high up, and not as spooky as normal. It sat on a branch and looked at us from about ten feet away until finally deciding to fly. I think elk season is about done, and when it is, I'm taking Roxy dog up and try bagging a spruce grouse or two.
