Default RE: grouse habitat

rebel wolf -

The Ruffed Grouse Society has a very good publication on managing your land for grouse and/or woodcock. Check out their website for contact information (it actually might be the RGS of Canada that publishes it). Where are you located? Primary food sources vary a little with region. Also, it might take a while for the habitat to develop to be grouse-friendly - the cover has to be at the appropriate maturity level (I remember something like 10-15 year old forest is ideal). Good luck with your project! Ruffed Grouse are (IMO) by far the most rewarding upland bird.
