battue,
Good to know that you know so much more than any game biologist, that all game biologists are ignorant and agenda-driven--and that you can speak for all grouse cover, everywhere, at any time. I am sure there aren't any game biologists who've seen nearly the years and habitat you have.
Well you are jumping to smart azz conclusions. But it pretty much follows the norm around here. But before I do the same I will try to clarify. I didn't reference over grazed land with little ground cover that couldn't conceal a Meadow Larks nest and posted pics that showed just the opposite. It would be rare to find enough Grouse in that kind of cover to make it worth effort. Even mentioned it could occur on on more mature open cover, but you choose to avoid mentioning same. Either that or it didn't fit into a smart azz answer.
Ya sometimes I just don't agree with every so called expert. In this case it happens to be you.
