Just wanted to get everyones thoughts on grouse habits as the season progresses. In my findings, as the season progresses, I find it more difficult to find grouse. In September and October they can easily be found on the road edges either foraging for various berries and needles or for small rocks for their gizzard. I also find great pleasure in hiking through wooded areas with dog searching for them. In the early season, i have found it to be not that difficult of a task (especially this year!).
I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on finding grouse in November? As the snow flies, I have found it much more difficult to find them. This past weekend, I went to one of my favorite groiuse spots but the snow was at least 6 inches deep and up to 10 inches. Do grouse migrate to the valley bottoms as the snow comes? Or, do they hunker down and are less active?
