John, after reading your post and Harold's reference to Ohio grouse, I couldn't help responding, even though my comments are off the original topic. I went to school in Athens (many, many years ago) and continued to go back to hunt grouse for years around Nelsonville/Athens until the bird numbers dropped too much to justify the drive from Missouri. I miss so much my Ohio grouse coverts. I remember 25 flush days and lots of places to hunt with decent grouse habitat. Like so many other things related to hunting, "those were the days..."
Thanks to both of you gentlemen for bringing this up.
