Pro guide on western forest grouse tips, tactics, strategies and gear

Tim Linehan of Linehan Outfitting is an Orvis-endorsed guide hunting the Rockies for ruffed, sooty and blue grouse. It's challenging country, different habitat, offering a new set of rules he's here to explain. Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool ruffed grouse hunter or new to the game, from the east, midwest or west, there's something in his approach of value to you and your dog. We cover what is good habitat and finding it, how to approach a covert, why a bell and beeper might be the ultimate combination. Tim shares his shooting advice ("shoot the shadow") and how to approach a bird and dog on point, we'll also learn more about what western grouse are eating. "Fix It" has another way to remove cockleburrs, and listeners share their bad hunting buddy horror stories.
