Good point Battue. Here in WI the county forests in Central to Northern WI (possibly MN too) are usually the best populations due to considerably more timber harvesting, thus improved habitat for grouse (and deer). Turkeys thrive about anywhere up here.
The tree huggers interfere with the Forest Service doing any TSI the most, the state a bit less, the counties not at all as the County Parks & Forestey Committees tell the huggers to pound sand, they want the revenues.
