Sooty Grouse

Sooty Grouse are a close relative of the Dusky Grouse, found along the western mountains of North America. These birds thrive in dense coniferous forests, often at higher elevations where steep terrain and thick cover make for a challenging hunt. During spring, males can be heard booming their deep, low calls to attract hens. Sooty Grouse rely on camouflage and stillness to evade predators, but when flushed, they explode into flight with surprising speed. They are most commonly hunted in the fall, when they move between alpine summer ranges and lower elevation forests, providing a challenging pursuit for those willing to navigate steep, timbered terrain.

Professional Sooty Grouse hunting guide and outfitter in Northern California. Another favorite for the amazing terrain they call home. Sooty grouse are birds of the mountains. When the valley is still scorching hot in September, go high for a sooty grouse hunt. Commonly found along the edges of mountain meadows where a brush or conifer pocket meet. To some they are just a dumb bird, to target them with dogs is a totally different experience that won’t be easily topped. We use pointing dogs that are also trained to retrieve for upland bird hunts.
