Shakin' Quakies (Idaho Ruffed Grouse Hunting) w/ Andrew Wayment - Season III Episode II

Author Andrew Wayment invites me out to East Idaho for a special Idaho Ruffed Grouse hunt. The dogs on the ground for this hunt are Cooper and Andy's French Brittany, Rainey. The action was hot from the start, but the shooting opportunities came in flashes. It quickly became apparent to me that these birds don't see a lot of hunters. The birds would flush only a short distance into a tree until we could shake them out for a more sporting shot. I hope you enjoy this great day afield with my new friends, man and dog.

Great video, Rob. Sure was fun hunting with you!

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

Likewise Andy. Thanks for having me out.

Watching the two of you not get frustrated with the ruffs (and shoot them out of the trees) and being patient enough for safe shots was a pleasant experience.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video Ron. We certainly had a great time.

[@ralphperez4862]

Nice Work you guys. Thanks for the tips.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

You bet! Thanks for watching.

Nice video! Thaks for sharing. Funny thing, I got Idaho Ruffed Grouse Hunting for Christmas and just started reading it last night. It was interesting to see you hunting with the author! I'm actually planning a trip to Idaho this coming season (2023) for the first time, so appreciating your videos. Thanks again!

Thanks for watching! It was a joy hunting with Andy and his dog Rainey.

Congratulation on having such a special dog. Cooper is awesome. In the fifth grade (way back in 1973/74) I was able to talk my mom into getting me a Brittany. Of course, mom would only get me the runt of the litter. The one that they could not sell. So, she got Peaches for $75 instead of the going rate of $500 back in the day. The story is long and sad so I won't bother you with it but someday I should write it down in my journal. Treasure your dogs while you have them.

Combat hunting. Great dog work. Little different than Huns or Chukars.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

Andy’s dog Rainey is a pro at finding them in trees.

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

That one bird thar was up in the tree clearly visible was lucky you guys were hunting that day, because I would have blasted that S.O.B. in the blink of an eye.

[@NorthwestWingshooters]

Yeah I don’t think these birds see a lot of pressure. They definitely weren’t the smartest grouse I’ve chased, but they were plentiful.
