Headed up the mountain this morning with Tyler (Flycastin) and hit up a spot i had been looking at. We hiked about 2 miles to the top of a trail and spotted the first blue of the morning. I took a shot at it as it glided down the canyon toward Tyler, Tyler put that to an end pretty quick and dumped his first big blue.
We continued down the ridge and jumped another blue in some sage brush. I took care of him and we had two grouse in the bag. After that we hiked about 2 more miles and didn't see crap (Well... I guess we saw some deer crap). After hiking down the whole ridge, we headed for the truck ready to call it a day. Tyler unloaded his gun and I kept a few in just for fun. About 200 yards from the truck we jumped a little group of 3 and I dumped one while Tyler loaded up and took the other two.
We ended up with 5 birds total and had a great time. Not a bad opener [
