Jack, how good do you need? I had two cockbirds in pocket, 20 minutes after leaving the homestead one wednesday last fall. Thats ten minutes of hunting. The limit is still two, I think.

I'll give you a tip-hunt the slew/lowland area, north of the cemetary, for grouse, after the first snow, in years when the Vikings are doing well. You can tell when you are in the right spot, 'cause you can see their little feetprints. The area looks a little bit mature for grouse, but, the edges of the islands, near the cattails, hold enough birds for a great 2-4 hour weekday-after-work hunt. Stay away from the place early season. It's full of amatuers.
Best,
Ted
