a couple guys i know are trying to talk me into going to michigan for a grouse hunt. i am going to try to go next season. i'm just an iowa farm boy, and know nothing about grouse hunting. any info would be a huge help. such as, season dates, license fees, bag limits, cover, what to expect...etc.
T-roy grouse are a very challenging bird to hit making them a blast to hunt. I have been hunting them for 2 years now and just love it. A word of caution the numbers of birds on public land are way down making them difficult to find (at least where I am in Northern Michigan). We find most of our grouse in mixed cover, and like most other game birds where there is food (i.e. berries). Where do you plan to hunt in Michigan?
License 3-day non- res $28.00, $65.00 for full season (If you are on a preserve I think its $14.00)
Dates (all zones):
September 15-November 14, 2004 and
December 1, 2004-January 1, 2005
Bag Limits:
Zones 1 & 2: 5 daily, 10 possession
Zone 3: 3 daily, 6 possession
