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?

Where do you live? Where do you hunt? What kind of dog do you hunt over?

My lodging reservation and deposit are in, purchased licenses today and have spent more time on OnX this last year than my employer would knowingly allow. I'll arrive in CO next month on the 17th and depart on 26th.

I'm hopeful I'll get after ptarmigan three days and dusky grouse the remainder. The weather and how well the dog holds up will ultimately decide.

Trying to keep expectations realistic but the mind wanders.
