Given the vagaries of cover cuttings and regrowth, and especially of climate changes, I think this is the way to do it - spend at least a couple of weeks, even better the month, exploring for grouse and taking whatever flight birds arrive while you're there as a bonus in your woodcock bag. Our two one-week forays years ago into far northern NH and VT were neatly summed up by the locals as, "Oh, man! You should have been here last week!"
