Reggie,
Back "in the day" I hunted woodcock at Reelfoot Lake in the 2nd (late) season. We had good hunts and when the birds were in, things were excellent. I also hunted grouse in Tennessee and had decent luck at Catoosa and in the mountains near Unicoi. I'm sure things are not as good now as tree cutting has become a thing of the past in the Cherokee NF. You should consider taking that little 26" CHE to Minnesota. It would be a great "poke-and-shoot" grouse gun. Even in a down year, there are lots of birds and LOTS of cover. They still cut trees in the North Woods!
Good luck with your dove hunt. We still have dove in North Missouri, so I'll send some down to you when the wether cools.
