Pulled the chip out of one of my cameras and found this group:
Pretty sure they are grouse but video quality is low to save memory, so not positive. I hunt grouse occasionally but not often enough to know if they hang out in groups this size.

Click the image to watch the video.
Video is 20sec but is actually about 6 minutes of footage compressed.
It looks like it, I had to freeze frame it a bunch of times but you get a decent shot of one walking towards the camera, I've come across large groups of them time to time.
Looks definitely Grouse (Ruffed)....... quite a large hatch apparently.
I can't tell what they are but I'd like to THINK that they are ruffies! :D
Give us the location and we'll let you know this fall for sure,;)
Where is good location to hunt grouse close to Toronto?
Thunder Bay.Quote:

please define "good" and "close". Most of the time good and close will not be used in the same sentence.Quote:

Species , I have many books on grouse and they say that the clutch size can go 12 to 14 eggs. Thought that might help if you thought there was too many.
Thanks for all the repliesQuote:

Going to hunt them a little more proactively this fall as in the past it has been less planned and more reactive.
They look like ruffed grouse to me. In related news, I just bought a vintage, Remington 20ga semi. :) Have shotgun, will travel!
