If I had to guess I would say we see more bear sign than deer sign when we are grouse hunting. The only places you will find grouse is where the cover is thick enough to prevent avian predators, the hawks are hell on grouse.
Spring gobbler season is a blast!
But what about goose hunting? The the September season is fantastic. We have plenty of wood ducks too.
Just to many predators for rabbits and pheasants to prosper.[:@]
Any of you think of coon trapping to give our ground nesting birds a chance?
