Ruffed Grouse Habitat


Over the many years of chasin' the woodland chickens I have come to the conclusion that, this type of cover is where you will find em' If you use these few simple observations when trying to find them, you will score.
1) Berry bushes with thorns the size of sharks teeth.
2) You can see where a snake turned around in the dirt because the hazel was too thick to penetrate.
3) Pecker pole popple so close together you need a flash lite to find your way around at high noon.
If this criteria is met, there is a good chance the Grouse are there. Shooting them is another story.

If any of this sounds a little extreme, you may want to stick to Quail hunting in the Loblolly Pines.
And yes there is a dog on point, see them?
