Mr. Brown: Minnesota seems to want to clear-cut everything anymore (to pay for tampons perhaps?). Many of my old haunts are in recovery from a recent logging event. It bothers me to lose a still-productive trail but I also have a few that have aged-out and are not as productive as they could be. I just hope to live long enough to see them all recover.
Small popples and birch are the rule here, rather than the exception. Jack pines abound as well (planted in the post war years here). If there is more perfect ruffed grouse cover somehwere else, I have yet to hear about it.
