Become a ruffed grouse and American woodcock cooperator
Each year hundreds of Michigan grouse and woodcock hunters assist the Department of Natural Resources in monitoring grouse and woodcock populations by providing information about their hunts. This survey, conducted since the 1950s, provides the DNR with an early indicator of the hunting season and population status of ruffed grouse and woodcock.
