🍂October grouse around Hinton is the best hunting of the year. 🍂

3 things that actually matter:

1️⃣ First light, gravel shoulders.
Grouse come down to grit on road edges before the sun clears the trees. Drive slow, glass the ditches.

2️⃣ Walk the edges, not the middle.
Old cutblocks and burn regrowth with mixed aspen edge hold birds. Deep timber usually doesn't.

3️⃣ October is the window.
Leaves are off so you can spot them, snow hasn't flattened the cover yet. By November they're educated.

We broke down our backroad grouse runs and rabbit hunting in full on Ep 134 of Wilderness Wavelength — link in bio. 🎧

Thanks to Kev Ged for this listener bench submission! Kevin also included this great write-up for the bench.

📍Location: Jasper National Park

Story: In Sept following the 2024 Jasper wildfire, the landscape began to recover quickly. This bench might be a testament to the resillience of Jasper----while the landscape around it burned, the bench seemed to have also---perhaps the protective varnish only burned, but the bench somehow survived and still stands at the confluence of the MIette and Athabasca Rivers at the former Pugh homestead site.
