Wyoming Sage Grouse Hunting
2010 Season Sept. 18-30
Welcome to Wyoming the wild Sage Grouse capitol of the world. Lace up your boots and join Grey Reef Wingshooting in pursuit of sage grouse over the wide open spaces of Wyoming. Picture yourself walking up on a steady dog on point and busting a covey of huge sage grouse. Learning to hunt sage grouse on your own can be a real bust as these birds have enormous home ranges and often elude hunters who think just working the nearest sage brush will produce birds. Grey Reef Anglers & Wingshooting has leased private property, scouted, and acquired the best spots over years of hunting, so you spend more time actually hunting than just walking aimlessly over these huge spaces. These hunts book fast, so call today to make sure you get a spot.

Your success will depend on how hard your willing to hunt. Putting the effort in makes the reward that much sweeter as a covey rise of chukars comes off the pointing dog. Chukars make a great all day hunt or can be combined with huns, sharptails, or pheasants. End your day eating a nice dinner back at the lodge.

Wyoming Blue Grouse Hunting
Season Dates Sept.1-Nov 30
Blue Grouse hunting is as much about the setting as it is the bird. The raw beauty of mountain terrain filled with golden aspens set against forest green pines, crisp autumn air in your nose and sounds of bugling bull elk in your ears. The setting is simply awesome.
Blue Grouse are often reffered to as "fools hen" due to their almost tame nature when around humans. Place a hunting dog on the ground and these birds take the attitude of any other upland bird as they will run, duck, and hold tight. The challange of blue grouse hunting is the shooting. You'll find yourself shooting as these birds rise and fly in, through, and around trees. For all thier down play Blue Grouse have schooled many wingshooters. Blue Grouse are a unique compliment to any wingshooting package.
Packages and Rates are the same as mentioned above.
Blue Grouse Hunts are an all day hunt and cannot be combined in the same day with other birds

Other options include a morning waterfowl hunt combined with fly fishing the middle of the day and then ending with an upland hunt. The variety and combinations of action are the real draw on these cast and blast adventures. The only person more tired than you at the end of the day is your guide.

Guns and Ammunition
Selecting the right shotgun is a personal choice. We've seen hunters use virtually every make and model available, with prices ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. So, as long as your firearm offers you between-the-hand balance and the features you prefer in the field, bring it along. Gauges including 12, 16 and 20 are typically preferred for Pheasant, Grouse and Partridge. We don't usually recommend 28 gauges, however, some clients have proven to be very efficient with them.
Ammunition is not included in our fees, but may be purchased by us prior to your trip. We recommend 4 to 6 shot for all upland game birds except quail/dove.
Clothing & Accessories
We suggest you pack for cool to colder temperatures. Click on our weather icon for latest conditions and up to date forecast.

While hunter orange outerwear is not required by law, we at Grey Reef Anglers require that you wear a blaze orange hat or vest.
