FWIW, you can hunt Ruffed grouse and Sharptailed grouse in the east end of MI’s UP in October.
Flights of woodcock come twittering in most evenings in the right places.

We have many GEM properties that are managed for Ruffed grouse, and I bet you could find a host pretty easily.
Karl, and I seem to be able to bumble around and have some fun up there the last few years.
