Winter Grouse Hunting. Just a day out in the bush

When the temperatures warm up above freezing in this part of the world, do you want to be sitting on the couch ? Nope, Kathy and I head out to get super and enjoy an unusual warm trend. It was sunny then snow then rain, then the sun came back out and we hit a high of 7c 44F at the end of November ! Some of you have been asking for longer videos so this one is about 25 minutes, just enough to fill a time slot before your favorite show comes on. Join us and a day in our life and don't forget to click like and leave us a comment and subscribe to our channel if you have not done so already. Our life our adventures Thanks and hope you enjoy the video

[@TheAlbertaChannel]

I spent 3 hours today walking around and inside bush that was mostly spruce, lodgepole pine and some poplar/aspen in western Alberta (Rocky Mountain house area) looking for grouse and didn’t see anything 😭

[@JeffKavanagh]

Hi Folks ! From a quick search of that company (Abitibi Geophysics) I found that they provide survey methods for mining exploration. One of their methods is to utilize electromagnetic cables and devices to search for mineral deposits such as gold, copper and zinc. Not sure of their exact use of that black cable but I'd guess that its a form of antenna that detects magnetic variations and other mineral deposits through the use of an instrument that the cables connect to. I grew up in Northern MN on the Iron Range mining area. Also hunted Ruffed Grouse as a kid with my dad and still take trips back there to hunt annually now at 64 years of age.

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

Well that sounds like what it probably is and funny you mention the Iron Range, been to Duluth once a month for 30 plus years probably more lol been to Virginia, Biwabic, Hibbing (which I found amazing ) so we are both familiar with the area. From 1 young buck to another (I’m 63) thanks for watching mate

The mystery wire is IP wire (Induced Polarization) is a geophysical method of measuring the resistance of geologic formations underground. The operator clips into the wire along the trail and connects it to a steel stake driven into the ground to charge the earth. A receiver unit measures the falloff of the current over time.

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

Awesome Dave, thank you for the explanation, sure had us scratching our head seeing in was 20 km's long maybe more in the middle of nowhere much appreciated

[@davepritchard4208]

@@HKsOutdoorAdventures you carry reels of it on your back. A good operator can do about 8-10 km a day on cut lines. Loved your vid. Grouse are my favourite hunt...

[@paulpalistrant4546]

Starting a day of hunting with some Tim horton's coffee is the way to go

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

Can't function without it, but my doctor says limit it to 1 cup per day lol He thinks he knows everything about the human body ;) lol

[@juliosdiy3206]

Nowadays instant coffees give me heart attack.

[@brianmarsh9632]

I found a similar cable in the Ministic Lake area west of Windy Lake turnoff on 144

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

Sure makes you scratch your head when you don’t know what it is and you are in the middle of nowhere, luckily some viewers knew what it was

[@jsoares66]

[@bigd6663]

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

My so. Has a lot of kids they eat them up faster than we can shoot ‘em kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3zcqJpmiqibfMU

[@tanishagenier8377]

I'm 5

[@tylitke3691]

I gotta ask why not use a nice semi 22 if your shooting them on ground it's cheaper and their heads pop right off

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

I prefer a 12 iron and their heads pop off

[@tbcoachniblick1208]

30-06 for grouse...?? WTH

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

lol That would be something eh ? Actually we were heading back from our deer hunting area

[@gospeladventures]

What time is best to go get some birds?

[@HKsOutdoorAdventures]

We have the most luck early morning or late evening when the birds eat and get gravel for their crop to help digestion. The worst for us it seems are windy days tough bird hunting when it is windy

[@tbcoachniblick1208]

Fish in a barrel...big whoop..!! 👎
