Hunting Cliffnotes

October 17 - 20, 2014

We left Friday night after we both got off from work. We headed straight out to Kelowna, as one of Justin's co-workers said that the hunting for grouse up there was awesome. He had been up there two weeks earlier and got about 19 grouse and some rabbits. (Which looking at the reg book afterwards, he is over his possession total for the grouse and if they were cottontail rabbits, those are illegal to shoot.) So here is the synopsis of everywhere that we went...

**Kelowna**
Beaver Lake FSR, Grizzly, Philpot - saw 2 grouse, 1 rabbit, and 1 white tail doe (we bought a white tail tag before going up) in two days. Not impressed at all.

**Rock Creek**
I don't know the name of the road that we went up. But after having an argument on whether to go forward or turn around (we decided to go forward thankfully) we ended up seeing grouse. Saw one covey of 6, then two coveys of 2. We should of stayed in Rock Creek instead of moving over to Tulameen...
Shot - 7 total -- Lisa 2 (including the only Spruce grouse) Justin 5

**Mount Baldy (between Rock Creek and Oliver)**
My bright idea to go up this FSR as a detour between Rock Creek and Osoyoos. Except we only saw one grouse and the road that was supposed to go back down to the highway didn't go through on the GPS but did in the map book so we decided not to go down it and ended up going to Oliver instead.
Shot - 1 total - Justin 1 (he shot it with the .22)

**Tulameen**
Only saw one grouse on either road that we went onto. We camped at the boat launch and finally had a fire.

Shot - 1 total - Justin 1

Total grouse for weekend: 9 --- Lisa 2, Justin 7
