Has anyone else noticed the decrease in grouse numbers in Northern Michigan? I'm only 16 and I've been hunting them for the last 6 or 7 years with my dad. He tells me about times maybe 15 years ago when they would get 10 or so flushes a day. Now, we get 2 or 3 grouse flushes the whole trip. From what I've heard from biologists is that we are in the bottom of a 10 year cycle and that the numbers should start rising again, but they've been saying that for awhile. Your thoughts?
