Grouse Hunters how did you do?

[wiperhunter2]

I think you are right about the weather affecting the number of birds people saw this weekend. From what I've seen in the past, the wet weather will make the birds hold up in trees and low cover more than normal. A friend went out yesterday, after the morning storms and got into a group of older birds(7), none of the birds were yearlings. In the past when we have had wet springs, it is bad for the young birds, with a lot of them dying. It all depends on the area though, there could be pockets where the birds did better, lets hope so anyway. WH2
