I hunted last weekend near Park Falls. It was my first Grouse hunt in 24 years so awesome to get a chance to hunt them again, I have not lived in a state with Ruffed Grouse since I left home after collage. The first day was windy and a tough hunt and I only flushed six birds no shots. The 2nd day was raining all day I moved 11 birds no shots. The final day Sunday was perfect conditions I moved 16 birds got one shot and killed my first bird. One thing I thought was odd is that in three days of hunting with a good dog I never flushed a woodcock. Great to be back in a place where I can hunt Grouse. Thanks for all the great information on this site.
