It never ceases to impress me how well the grouse program in Michigan works. The numbers you guys show are incredible. Even though the state bird of Pennsylvania is the Ruffed Grouse, there is little to no management done to increase numbers or create great habitat for them. Every once in a while they will select cut a small area of public woods, but its never enough. It's really tough hunting. I wish they would jump on the bandwagon and follow a similar program as Michigan. Sadly, the big money maker in PA is white tailed deer (who, ironically would also benefit from clear cutting), and they seem to be more interested in building "food plots" than improving grouse habitat.

Kudos to the Michigan DNR and a very well done to all of you who hunt there with such success!
