Default RE: Ruffed Grouse alone - No dog

found sitting in a sunny spot on a road or on the banks alongside the road. Evenings they also come to the roads to fill their crops before roosting.

My ears have become good at distinguishing the sound of a bird running through the leaves. Many times I will be walking or driving along, and hear one run. I stop, go to the spot where I heard the sound, and most often
I ride logging roads too. One trick I would like to share is dont waste your time in unproductive areas. If riding logging roads, dont creep around all day, once you hit a place that you dont score in, speed up and get out of there. Good bird areas are worth parking and walking. People who go 5mph all day everywhere only hurt themselves.

BTW, Split Hoof covered it pretty good.
