Corey, I'm from CT as well. I hunted grouse here since the early 70's and they began to disappear after the re-introduction of the turkeys around the mid 80's BY the late 90's they were all but gone. I then began hunting the Catskills and there were plenty of birds around all of the old farms but around 10 years ago they started disappearing. The last time I went was 2016, hunted al day and my dog only pointed one bird. I know a guide that said he didnt find a bird all year last year and only ine this year.
