Preserving The Future of Grouse, Woodcock and Hunting - Ruffed Grouse Society - Video



The Ruffed Grouse Society is North America's foremost conservation organization dedicated to preserving our sporting traditions by creating healthy forests for ruffed grouse, American woodcock and other wildlife. Without young forest habitat, populations of grouse and woodcock would not flourish and our rich sporting traditions could not be passed on to the next generation. See more about how the Ruffed Grouse Society preserves grouse, woodcock and hunting at, www.ruffedgrousesociety.org.

2014 MINNESOTA SPRING GROUSE SURVEYS

Statewide Ruffed Grouse drum counts increased 34%
this year.

Increases were driven by changes in
the northern portion of the state, in the prime ruffed grouse range.

This increase is consistent with changes expected with
the 10 year cycle, with the most recent peak
in drum counts during 2009.


The cycle is less pronounced in the more southern regions of the state, near the edge of their range.
