Grouse have bin harder and harder to find for the last couple of years. I find them on over growen side roads and around clear cuts that have had 5 to 10 years to regrow. Large flat clear cuts I find hold more birds then clear cuts on steep hillsides. But they will be found anywhere, also remember they like roadside gravel for their crop.
Good luck.
Thanks bigshooter I might be heading out this weekend to see if I can spot any. Although it would probably be better to wait a little while till the leave are on the ground so its easier to spot them.
