grouse hunting lodgepol, drayton or whitecourt which is better

[rosh7674]

I want to go grouse hunting tomorrow, planning on going for an evening hunt for few hours. I want to know which area is better for grouse hunting.

Thanks

I'd say it's way better up by Whitecourt.

x2 for Whitecourt.

Ive seen a lot of grouse in the whitecourt area this year, just be careful about accidentally taking a sharptail. Ive found there numbers to be way up this year but there off limits in that area. If you see grouse in a open cutblock or farmer's field probably a sharptail, if down a cutline or lease road probably a spruce or ruffy.

Tons of spruce and ruffies on the lease roads. Best when sunny. I for one found a couple of grizzly bears 50 yards from my favorite cutline. So be careful and pack some slugs. Roads should be good now. Good luck

Been both places and I'd say whitecourt.
