So to the few sportsmen who try to understand this wily bird, in contrast to the many who merely blunder through ruffed grouse cover , and chance it, I suggest this: Since the open season is seldom more than ’ a few weeks long, why not spend ’ some leisure hours during the other weeks of the year in studying the grouse. When, on one of your pre-season rambles, a ruffed grouse flushes from a feeding ground and speeds up the run or flashes over a Kill to left or right, he is telling you he is one of a covey which was raised here; that the covey has regular flyways as foxes have runways, and that the next grouse flushed will very likely follow the same course. Now, when the open season comes, you will know enough to have your companion quietly post ed there before you approach the cover with dog and gun. Another characteristic trait of the grouse is that as long as he thinks himself unseen he will remain hid den while you pass; but the moment you stop or change your saunter to a quickstep, he thinks you have dis covered him and he’ll be off. Dr. William J. Long, well known naturalist, claims that from the way a grouse rises, you may often judge where he will make a landing. If he noisily rises high on a parabolic flight, after about 100 yards straight away he turns left or right and vol planes down to earth. But if his take-off is low, he will usually slant up into a tree, preferably an ever green.

The best grouse shot I ever knew would walk up to a pointing dog with his double hammer gun slanting muzzle down from a crooked arm, and he never brought it up to cock both hammers until after the grouse had flushed. Ruffed grouse have several feed ing places, and their habits are as regular as the rounds of a postman. Their food changes with the season but at any season they like variety. From one feeding ground they go to the r.ext in order. If disturbed in the later morning, they head to one of their resting or loafing places. All grouse probably have at least two such refuge stations. There you may find them at any midday hour.
