"20 plus flushes in less than two hours and I never got off the skidder trail"
That is truly amazing. I read somewhere - game commission literature, IIRC - that the average is one flush per hour. That has pretty much been my experience over the last few years in Luzerne/Columbia/Sullivan Cos.

I think we're supposed to be in the upward trend of the grouse cycle right now. You just need the right habitat. Where we hunt, most of the land was clear cut about 10-15 years ago. It's overgrown like crazy now. Any clear areas are thick with blueberry and blackberry bushes. Then there are the laurel thickets.
So many grouse that you get sick of them. I hate sneaking to my stand in the dark and almost having a heart attack when those SOBs flsuh under my boots
I'll tell you one thing. The coyotes are on to them. They've been dogging the grouse and turkey poults like crazy in the early summer.

I bow hunted the last 2 weekends of Oct. instead of grouse hunting.
My buddies wound up getting another 26 birds with only 3 or 4 hunters, unfortunately when I don't show up WE don't get pictures, as I am the "camera" guy.
Our style of hunting is to line up and push the country side for grouse, if you bring your puppy I would think we could do better???
