John,

Thanks for the clarification on the grouse species that I saw. All of the birds that I flushed were close to the hiking trails that run up and down Pecos Baldy ( right next to Truches Peaks). This was the second year in a row that I have seen grouse way up there. Unfortunately, this trip is a fishing snd hiking trip with a bunch of guys I grew up with.

I do know that it is indeed bow season for mule deer in late September and that it could make for a heck of a week of hunting grouse and mule deer. Awesome pics!!!!!
