(10mm Glock, I assume)….I’m almost 73, bird hunted all over the Midwest for most of my life, but after watching this episode, I’ll stick to the Willow Ptarmigan 😂

Reminds me of my pursuit of ptarmigan in the highlands of Scotland, a few years ago. An experience of a lifetime, two of us and the keeper with his
three pointers, worked in rotation. A long hike to above the tree line and walking across the rocky scree. We both shot a brace each, birds were in eclipse
plumage, just like yours. Never to be forgotten experience, in incredible but hard to get to areas.

Looks like a awesome hunt

In 2017 I traveled to the Kenai National wildlife refuge for a bear hunt. I did this trip solo and I'm glad I did because I really learned a lot about myself and the game I was after. It was a black bear hunt and I wish I had packed my shotgun because everywhere I looked there were ptarmigan and grouse. I was just above the tree line at a place called twin lakes. When I saw your video I thought to myself... Is that twin lakes? Everywhere up there above the tree line looks very similar and I know you guys had a good time. Now the place I actually bought property at is in Manley Hot Springs. That's the first place I ever shot a ruffled grouse and many many spruce grouse. You just kind of road hunt up there and it's very productive. Didn't take us long to kill a legal limit. Message me back if you ever want to come up and hunt a different part of the state. We have a place to stay at and I never charge a friend to hunt with.
