I was born in western , N. C. ,still live here, started grouse hunting when I was 12, i'm 70 now, in my teens and twenties i wouldn't think of going anywhere else, i've hunted the U , P, Wisconson , Maine, Thumb of Michigan, Montana, Canada . I KNOW good spots in WNC, last hunt in my best place eleven miles walking ONE flush, I killed him and felt bad about it as I feared he was the last one. That was last year.My last trips to Michigan were pitiful. Friend of mine doesn't call it grouse hunting, he says it's marathon walking.You can grouse Hunt here but you won't do much finding. AS was stated above big problem is lack of cover. I probably will be selling some of my gun's later in the year, because I feel it won't be back in my lifetime.
