I was wanting to see if any one is having any luck with grouse hunting in Virginia? I have been hunting grouse for about 14years here in Southwest Virginia and years past the number of grouse has really dropped and it has been very poor hunting. But in the past 3 years I have been getting up a lot of birds for this area. On quite a few days I have got up between 15-20 + flushes in a 2-3 hour hunt and the lowest number of flushes I've got has been 2 in one hunt, and thats only happened about 2-3 times in the past 3 years. I went out the other day 12-27-05 it had just snowed the night before about 2inch. Myself and my hunting buddy took our 2 ryman/hemlock setters and went to some of our favorite grouse cover and hunted for about 2hrs and got 10 flushes. 2 flushes was probably the same bird, but the rest I am pretty sure was not the same bird. So to say I'm happy is an understatement . Once again hello to all and God Bless.
