I used to think it was the other way around as a turkey will ansolutely destroy a grouse nest and anything in it. Thrkeys are opportunistic feeders and if something (like grouse chicks or eggs) doesn’t fit in their mouth they will tear it and rip it and shred it until they can swallow it… but maybe the grouse are meting out revengeful punishment.
Sitting in my blind calling for thrkeys I distinctly heard 6 individual grouse drumming within a few hundemred yards of me… and that’s a very good thing.
