Hunting Ptarmigan in Utah's Uinta Mountains

[@soisitimpossible]

No one knows satisfaction of a full belly till they grow their own garden or walk 14+ kms to eat meat they've procured! Now that is self sufficiency!

[@m1garandman]

I didn't know these birds were in Utah. I never quite had the right opportunity to bag any when I lived in Alaska. If i didnt have a gun birds were in range and visca versa

[@nathanforseth7398]

Loved watching your dog work! I have a one year old GSP puppy that I'm hoping can calm down a bit when we aren't hunting- Tick seemed like an incredible dog.

[@chriswinn5691]

tiger trout have fins like a brook trout because the are a hybrid of a Brown trout and a brook trout

[@dpbIII87]

Very cool! Great experience with your dog

[@thecaptain6994]

Awesome to know Ptarmigan are in Utah. Now we need to get them at a little lower elevation. Follow up story of some kid taking a 600 yard shot at an elk is ridiculous. The parent should be horse whipped for allowing it.

[@carsonridd]

We have them at lower elevation… they’re called dusky and ruffed grouse.

[@patrickirvin]

What a trip! Loved watching Tic work.

[@zoologicalmilitia2241]

Zoooootaaaahhhhhh looks like fun fish and birds.

[@josephoneill7033]

very good dog!

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

Reminds me of a easier version of the himilian snowcock of elko nevada. They better be ready because I'm coming!!!

[@jonwallace3023]

Surprised the dog didn't have boots on....hope they had some for him or plenty of: Super Glue" for cuts and abrasions.

[@LASKANDUDE]

I think their primaries are white year-round.

[@jasontenney5258]

I loved the video, very informative. I saw someone else asked what lake you were hunting by. That info would be helpful as I'm planning a trip up there Sept. 2022. More than the name of the lake , can you confirm Ptarmigan are around all those lakes above the tree line. I have been studying my OnX and there does not seem to be a shortage of lakes above tree line.

[@KSLOutdoors]

Hi Jason, sorry but we promised the hunters who invited us on this trip that we would not reveal the specific location.

[@et4751]

Very informative I enjoyed your video.

Under the wings

[@chipmaney]

Great adventure!

[@dakotacallahan545]

Who is the guide? and how can one get a hold of him? I would love to do a hunt like this.

[@KSLOutdoors]

This was a self-guided hunt.

[@drtroosevelt]

Altitude is latitude. I remember as a med student an annual 10 day hike into the Uintahs with fellow students and lab techs. Scenery is very familiar. Thanks for the video

[@raphaeledison9236]

I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tricks you can give me

@Raphael Edison Instablaster =)

[@raphaeledison9236]

@Toby Colt Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@raphaeledison9236]

@Toby Colt it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

[@tobycolt4726]

@Raphael Edison No problem xD

[@Stavro33]

What was the name of the lake you guys were by if its not a secret that is...

[@jasontenney5258]

Did anyone answer what lake they were on? I'm planning a trip up there next month. I'm very excited to get up there and hunt up some Ptarmigans.

[@Stavro33]

@@jasontenney5258 I Haven't gotten a response yet... What weekend are you planning on going?

[@Stavro33]

@@jasontenney5258 I am planning on going as well I am just going to keep my fingers crossed I can run into some.

[@KSLOutdoors]

Hi Stavro. Sorry, but we promised the hunters who invited us on this trip that we would not reveal where we were hunting.

[@Stavro33]

@@KSLOutdoors very understandable. Thanks so much for at least getting back to me you guys are awesome!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

why were they introduced?

[@kylegilbert8113]

8:40 what lake is that?

[@combinelover8988]

The grouse he's holding at 11:40-41, is a mounting quality bird, too!

[@KSLOutdoors]

Too bad we ate it that night!

[@combinelover8988]

If you ever go again, please secure a couple of trophies. I know these birds and they make awesome mounts. Also, to answer an old trivia question, all grouse have feathered ceres. it's a grouse thing. Also, the scales on all grouse toes are flared along the lower edges, giving eat, a "serrated" look. Harder to see on the ptars, with full boots to their toenails.

[@rogerbeckner6419]

11,000 feet in your mountains or 250 feet from Valdez and south about 1500 miles. Arctic circle birds. Norway, Finland, and Russia have these plump rockets to shoot at. Use a dog and flush them to shoot. Or use a 22 and pop them as they sit. Chukars are for suckers unless you have a good dog and are in good condition. Too many ads. Don't want to hear it. Two ads at total time of 10:18? Not going to watch any more. Sorry, I don't need television level advertising. Bye.

Without the gun, we are nobody. Let them live just as us!
