Hey everyone,
I'm fairly new to Colorado and would love to try a Ptarmigan hunt. I understand the inherent challenges hunting above the treeline at elevation, but wonder if anyone out here has managed to bag a few. How important is it to have a good dog? Do you make a few day trip out of it and camp at elevation to save a walk? Is it possible to glass birds among rocks and stalk them, or do you just have to walk and try and flush a few? Any extra information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik
