    Ruffed Grouse

    also the control burns that the state does every year in feb-march might be a player. i dont remeber them burning off that much underbrush in the 80-s. i think it might change the food sources.the burns are certainly helpful to the deer. the state got cheap this past year and didnt plant...

    might be just a rumour but my brother talked to a guy one time and he said it may have something to do with military training and planes and helicopters and such. i have been on some of the fields when military helicopters have landed in them. i think they use them maybe for training. i always...
