Scouting for Grouse

[dmv9]

I'm looking at a new area of forest roads. Boots on the ground.

Does it make sense to scout a new area in the afternoon?

Are the grouse active all day or only at mornings and nights?

last week I was seeing them in the early morning, then again starting around 230.

but that's my only experience grouse hunting, so take it for what its worth lol.

I have been seeing them all day but the evenings after 3 seems to be better

If things are moist from dew, they seem to come out later when things dry out.
