Us lucky guys that live here will be out there beating the brush because we're here but the guys from out of state are looking to us and what to expect. My guess is above normal with young birds early.

I spent the weekend there with my family but stayed on top of the hill in the trees most of the weekend so I didn't get a feel for numbers in the area. Made a 2 mile loop off the Middle Fork road and crossed saw 4 blue grouse. All looked to be adults which is kind of surprising given the birds should be in family groups this time of year. From my observations so far this summer there should be lots of opportunities in the country south and east of Grassmere and in south eastern Oregon around Harper. Brownlee is always good for either chukars or huns but unfortunately I didn't get to explore my go-to areas because it was hot and I had the family with. I did see a crazy amount of grasshoppers but it looks like the country around Woodhead hadn't seen rain since early July.
