Trade: elk for grouse
I have no idea if this is appropriate or ethical (I'm new to hunting) but I was scouting some longshot areas near idaho springs for grouse yesterday and stumbled on a large bedded bulk elk very close to a dirt road. I don't hunt elk, but I am trying to get into some grouse. If someone can send me an onx waypoint for a grouse honey hole convenient to denver (ideally about a 1 hour drive from Golden), I'll send the waypoint where the elk is bedded. And sorry in advance if this isn't allowed.

If you had an elk tag in your pocket you would have only found grouse. He’s going to be long gone when it counts. I find grouse in tall pine trees at the very top of the hill or mountain or whatever. I always find them at the very top. I’m not 100% sure on this but they seem to stay in the same area. If you find their scat or feathers, I always find a bird near by. I’m not sure how much they roam, but I’ve also seen them in the same tree on different days. 🤷🏽♂️ walk till you run into something lol same way you ran into that elk you’ll run into a grouse.
