My fellow upland bird hunters in Idaho, how are things going?

With all the wildfires happening in our state, how are things going so far?

Went for grouse once, of course didn’t see any. Went elk hunting and wasted two $20 arrows for one grouse, saw over a dozen but had decided I wasn’t going to shoot anymore. When I’ve been around water I’m seeing lots of grouse figuring with the coming rains they’ll be more spread out and moving higher to more predictable spots. Excited for pheasant season most of all!

Man, that's the story of my life. Only shells instead of arrows. I'm also hoping the rain in the mountains this weekend does some good for us (and the birds). Excited for pheasant season as well! Which part of Idaho are you from?
