We did a lot of hiking on the fringes of the BWCA this weekend for only a couple of birds. There was moose sign everywhere we hiked which is encouraging.

Guys staying where we are in Grand Marais said it's been very slow up the Gunflint Trail this week. I talked to someone when we were at Children's with our daughter last week that said her husband's group got some but not many around the Sawbill Trail, Grade, Caribou Trail area.

Spent a lot of time in the woods this last weekend prepping for deer hunting and didn't see or hear a single grouse while in the woods. This was over in the Bemidji area so not the Gunflint but it was very odd not seeing or hearing any.
Finally saw our first grouse on the way home, it was sitting on the side of the road in front of the neighbors cabin.

quote motox380: "Was hunting week of Oct. 12th by Finland and got 5 grouse, few Woodcock still around also. Had a moose making bunch of noise running away from us, could hear his antlers hitting the trees"
That is what I like about hunting the area where you were. I have seen moose,bear,and wolves while hunting grouse.
Years ago while walking a trail,looed about 35 yards ahead of me,coming my way was a wolf,all of a sudden he gets a grouse up and it lands in a tree next to me. I let that grouse live.
Thanks for the report. All ruff grouse or a few spruce? More than one day hunting? Been slow for most.
I hunt down by Longville a lot and grouse are lowest in 25 years at least.

I agree grouse have been real low lately, but last Monday, with the day off work, I went out dogless and flushed 20+. I think there was a break in the wind and I caught the birds out feeding. Only problem was that I shot too many trees.
