As for grouse, I would certainly like to see them (and quail) come back. Quail is all about habitat; that's been lost over the decades in this area and when the habitat is restored, the quail come back. Grouse? That's more complicated. On the NF lands, there's no "management" any more so there's increasingly less good grouse cover. On private lands, though, that's a different story and still no grouse. Could it be coyotes? Maybe, but they would seem to impact the turkey populations just as much, and we have TONS of those things (though increasing predation by coyotes on them). Could it be turkeys scratching out the nests and out competing them? I don't know. It's probably a combination of many factors, so teasing out where to start is a pain.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
