Ptarmigans in Colorado

[timf]

I realize this is an old thread, but figured I'd post this just in case. I'm newer to Colorado, I moved back after being gone for years and am newer to hunting birds with my dog. He's better than me but we're both in shape for dusky hunting this fall and I can't wait to get into the higher elevations and am considering hunting ptarmigans as well. I read this whole thread and appreciate all the info shared and am also looking for partners to hunt any upland bird or waterfowl if anyone is interested?
