Ruffed Grouse Basics

I met Dr. Linda Ordiway at the 2012 Eastern Outdoor Sports show in Harrisburg PA. She agreed to give us a few minutes in front of the camera to review Ruffed Grouse basic biology.

i think all states with a ruff grouse population should manage more for them..small game species tend to get over looked..in my opinion this is the hardest species of game bird to hunt..you earn each & every 1 you harvest..they deserve more respect

I had one chase me 200 yards through logging slash. Would attack me if I turned my back, but also would let me touch it's back when it ran up to me. I was planting trees and it became a pain. It flew at my face once when I was removing some vegetation, I guess it considered that action a threat. It ran around pecking the ground making subdued chicken sounds. It mostly kept it's head down and would run after you that way but when it stood tall it was ready to fight. Crazy bird!

wonderful video...thank you and thank you Dr. Ordiway

[@LuizFernando-pj4rp]

Very nice informative straight forward information!

[@robertplante3334]

Thanks, quite informative.

[@DopeNationPs4]

Very good job speaking, I live in saskatchewan and I go ruffed, Sharptail, and Spruce Grouse with Hungairian partridge hunting. But I like ruffed the most because it is a more bigger bird and has white meat, which is very good for eating

[@theodorparis1132]

[@dallasgross7293]

was this filmed in the 80's?

[@bentpolski]

New Jersey needs to wake up! They need to start managing their forests more!

[@richardblazek4780]

I just love this stuff

[@HighVizEconomist]

How did she train them to stay so still?

[@jayrom14]

There taxidermised

[@platinum244]

Roddy, in the summer they are very hard to see in the spring and fall the leaves are just coming in and or gone. In the summer the leaves are everywhere and the birds don't come into the open.

[@symokaov]

hey i seen this video and i was wondering why i only see these birds in spring and fall,i never seen a ruffed grouse in summer ?

[@auto_5]

Much easier for them to hide in the summer. They blend in very well.

[@jayrom14]

I see them all year round

[@Igunsmart]

[@gwp1ohio]

Lol! Pushing the logging of state and national forests....what a joke

[@jonathanoakley88]

If they dont log, forests will die anyways...lol

[@fjb4932]

Log it to prevent hot, deep burning wildfires.
Log, or it burns, only two choices...
