Utah Grouse and upland birds

I have been looking for grouse hunting in Utah on public land. I was on Utahs division of wildlife website and could not find the season dates, so if any one of you utah guys know let me know. Also is there any public hunting for them within an hour of Park City? If not are there any other upland speces open in dec. 23-1st of jan.?

Grouse is closed but there is good hunting all around Park City.
The only thing open is chukars and huns but you are a ways from any good hunting.

Lot's of good grouse hunting opportunities close to park city. If you head east (plan on driving between35 min to 50 min)there is lot's of public land available with plenty of grouse on it. There are a few isolated spots that you can still hunt closer to home, but you really have to be carefull, as the ski resorts and developers are buying up everything and sometimes it isn't marked real clearly what area's are private and what is public. If you go over the mountain and start coming down the other side (big cottonwood canyon) you get into a watershed and there is a hefty fine for having a dog there! Yes even in your truck. It's too much of a headache for me real close to park city so I would recommend that you head east and take advantage of all the public land out there. That is for next season. The closest chukar hunting to you is just outside of an hour, so if you got an itch there are still a few birds left in the desert.

I live in Heber, and there is plenty of grouse hunting within 20 min of my house. The 07 season is over, but the 08 season is getting closer every day

Thanks I am glad to be here. I think that the dog pound is a fun place. I usually laugh through reading and posting on it.

Steve those are some fine looking pooch's you have there.

I was hoping you could make it. There is plenty of season left, we will get out after them.
