Brod man i live in alberta. Ruffed grouse feed on clover and like mixed forests. I see a lot of them in the thick willows where theres that tall yellow grass growing and in the poplars. I shot one today sitting right under a tall spruce tree and when I went to pick it up, I shot another one right above me out of a branch at point blank. Sometimes they can be real spooky and you have to shoot them running and other times their so stupid you can walk right up to them and get the whole flock.
