Hunting
Grouse Creek is probably
best known for its Mule Deer and Sage Grouse hunting. Although the
area is not known for Trophy deer, there have been several large
animals harvested (you just don't hear about them). However, even
the smallest Mule Deer are generally bigger than those pet deer
(White Tail) that they grow back east. 
A large part of the
area is public lands and is easily accessible. In addition to the
public lands, there are currently 2 Cooperative Hunting Areas which
are available for those who desire to hunt on private lands. These
areas distribute their own tresspass tags but they also offer some
to the general public through a draw.
For more information concerning
the specific hunting seasons or Cooperative Hunting Areas, contact:

Brad a call at: (801) 782-6906 or he can be reached at: bradwarburton@hotmail.com.

 There
is a small hunting cabin available for those who want a roof over
their heads. It is located just North of Grouse Creek on the Pine
Creek road. It is a two room cabin that sleeps five. There is a
microwave oven, wood burning stove and spring water available from
a tap just outside the cabin. There is no indoor plumbing but an
outhouse is located near by. The cabin has solar and wind powered
electricity for lighting and small appliances. The cabin is available
for $25 a night, or $150 for a week. It is also a good place if
you have a camper or trailer and want a little extra room. Contact
Alan Smith.
 We
have raised hundreds of Pheasants, Chukars, and Quail in an attempt
to reintroduce these game birds to the valley.  The
game birds were released into the wild but I am afraid many of them
became food for the predators. The Deer herds and Sage Grouse populations
are improving and the Chukar population is looking good. There are
lots of "Guzzlers" in the area to provide water. They
have a saying about Chukars, the first time you hunt them is for
fun, the next time is for revenge.
