When you brought up the grouse population the guides chuckled a bit. Every report said drums were up 57% but they all thought we were one year off the bottom of the cycle. I will be interested to hear other reports. I think in chatting with hunters in camp they were getting 5-10 flushes per day with some of those being reflushed birds. Peak years I got the impression you would expect 20-30 flushes per day.
