As a New Hampshire resident I can tell you it will not be a good year for Grouse, and the turkey numbers will be down next spring. I have only seen two turkey broods all summer. One was yesterday. The poults were the size of robins which indicates the are very young and not likely to make it through the winter. Plus there were only five of them. We have had record rainfall all spring and up until the middle of July very cool temps.
