[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5279660, member: 1409"] Agree totally. And it's not just with the grouse, but with the quail, as well as many other bird species. I'm seeing some pretty large areas in Stewart Co. that have always had at least a remnant population of quail. A couple decades (or so) ago, the habitat began improving for quail, and there was a significant increase in the population, although they never even 1/2 approached the population of the 1970's (which was was much less than the 60's & 50's). What remains so mysterious, the habitat has continued to improve in these areas, yet today, fewer quail than 20 years ago. They're not extinct, but seem to be going that direction even with improving habitat. No doubt, everything going against quail & grouse survival has been trumping the best habitat. [/QUOTE]
