Default Grouse numbers - what are you seeing?

I know there’s lot of leaves still on the trees but wondering what every is seeing for grouse numbers this year. I wouldn’t say I’ve seen lots but the numbers seem better than last year.

I’ve been cruising around the Rocky Mountain House, white court and Hinton areas.

Over a dozen counted last weekend in the south of the 541, things for sure look better than last year already.

Lots of half size birds, 5-6 at a time, Give them a month or so.
But ya, looking better than the last few years.
