Grouse Hunters how did you do?

[One_eyed_jack]

Hiked my rear end off on Sunday and did not even see one bird. Being this my first time ever grouse hunting I had no idea what I was doing. We were in the Monti Cristo area and we covered about 7 miles worth of hiking around all over the place, aspen, pines, thick, thin, steep or flat; it did not matter. Today I got out for the morning and ended up with one blue, oddly enough right off the road. The rest of the day was a whole lot of hiking with no birds.

Both days I hunted very different regions with pretty much the same results. Did this cold front do something to the birds? With all of the hiking we did not even spooke a deer or anything, we only spooked sparrows and squirrels.
