Most of the WI hunters with whom I've discussed the proposal to close the grouse season after Nov 30 don't seem overly concerned about it. By that time, snow significantly limits access to a lot of places we've been hunting grouse for the previous 2 1/2 months. Or turns it into a literal slog through the snow. It won't accomplish anything other than demonstrating to the public that the DNR is taking the decline in grouse numbers seriously . . . but not doing much of anything to help solve the problem.
