First, you need to be looking for "ruffed" grouse, not ruffled.


I'm guessing that in ND the Turtle Mountain area would be your best bet. Trails through aspen forest would be a good place to start.

Just a wild *** guess though.

It gets a lot easier as the leaves come off.
Do you have a dog?

If you only have a bit of time focus on trails late in the day and early in the morning.

You'll find them...don't let the flush rattle you...shoot fast before they get away.

Our ruffie numbers are down this year but still okay. Our season starts next Friday. Me and my old lab will be out there but it is going to be hot according to the weather forecast.

Good luck!
