Northern Michigan had a very long, cold and wet Spring.
Fingers crossed for a good hatch but wont be surprised if its not.

So did Minnesota but I heard more drumming this spring then I have heard in many years. Good sign with the one hatch I seen. I hope it's a great year. I love hunting grouse. The deep snow this winter is what is needed for the grouse to bury themselves in the snow to avoid being eaten.
