How is the grouse population doing in everybody's hunting area?

Looks to be a good year in the mid west Great Lakes region( I'd be there even if the prediction was poor). Talked to the people who own the cabin I rent, and she said grouse were commonly seen, and Covid-19 was scarce. My buddy just got back from a week flyfishing on the Paint River, Michigamme River , and reservoir, and claimed to have seen alot of birds, along with woodcock flighting around at dusk.
I want to go for three weeks this year , and stay on thru the first full week of November. Earlier is better for woodcock, but I key in on grouse.
Rich, I'm sure I'll see you there.
Dean, what is the prediction for the area where you hunt?

good luck Harold, I always enjoyed my hunts up there. We looked at the northeast kingdom or Maine for this year, but with the crap going on we let the plans sit, maybe next year. just hoping for some local birds for a young dog
