Sorry we killed em all.
It was wrong, but in our defense they were stupid.


Did a similiar hunting style, but on the east slopes with talus/sagebrush on the edge of the huckleberry fields. Blues LOVE grasshoppers...and when it warms up during the day the grasshopppers would become active on the bald talus slope/sage faces. It was like extreme chukar hunting. Really beat up on them, and you might see a toad muley as well.

One hill had over 100 Blues (3 covey's) we jumped one year. We'd just keep working them over. It was a pretty good hike in from all the blowdown from the 88' fires, but once you got to the ridgetop, and spread out on the slope it was a kick!
