Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 6, 2016 Seems that the ptarmigan like this one rocky pass with a tarn in southwest Colorado. I see them every time I go there in summer. Also saw a hen with about four chicks. They sure had my GWP Rica's attention. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tres Report post Posted August 6, 2016 any difference between that and a dusky gouse Yes there is a difference. I don't know if you can hunt the white tailed ptarmigan in Colorado. I think they may be endangered. Not sure though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 9, 2016 Tres, your comment made me check on the season. If I am up there on CO in late September to photograph fall colors, I should take a day to look with Rica and the 28 ga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allforelk Report post Posted August 9, 2016 Red Rabbit, can I ask what part of Colo you are heading to in fall? I spent quite a few falls up there when I was younger. There are a couple spots in SW that always made me wish I had talent and a lense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
