All spring I heard drumming all over the place this spring and have been seeing grouse every were while scouting. Hope it's going to be a great bobcat year as well

I saw 2 ruffed grouse in my front yard this last weekend. They were in some shrubs scurrying around, then I spotted a red tailed hawk in there with them trying to get a meal  . First time in 11 years of living there that I've ever seen grouse in my yard.

Saw 10 yesterday riding my ATV with my wife...

I've been seeing lots of blue grouse in the Central Cascades while elk scouting recently. Sure seems like a banner year for them.

I've been seeing tons of ruffs.  Up in cuts, closed roads, berry patches, open roads.  I saw one hen with five chicks today!  Never seen more than three with one hen before.  But lots of birds with multiple chicks.  Lots of berries, seeds and grasshoppers/crawlies for them.

I saw 2 last week in the woods behind my pasture in Tumwater.  I don't know how common they are around my house but they are the first I've seen in 3 or 4 years here.

Last Saturday I drove over 100 miles on Weyerhaeuser roads in the Willapa Hills, from daylight to dark. Did not see a single grouse. I was planning to hunt grouse on opening day, but my optimism has gone down considerably.

Hunt the food, not the bird...and in this drought, go where the water is.
