Late season grouse hunting has been excellent. Ruffed grouse are bunching up providing multiple shots at each point. Lots of clear open shots, providing excellent opportunities for kill shots

Late-season grouse hunting can provide increased opportunities for bird shooting due to several factors:

Bird Behavior: As the season progresses, grouse may become more concentrated in certain areas, especially if food sources are limited, making them easier to locate.
Weather Conditions: Colder weather can push grouse to specific areas that are easier to access by hunters, especially if snow makes the birds more visible.
Hunting Pressure: With the hunting season nearing its end, some hunters might target late-season birds, increasing success rates due to less pressure in certain regions.

However, late-season hunting also poses challenges, including harsher weather and more difficult terrain. Birds may also become warier, making them harder to hunt.
