But time will tell as the season progresses and hunters get out in the woods after them.

Used to be you couldn't chuck a rock around Homer without hitting a spruce hen....then the beetlekill happened, and I hardly see them anymore (no idea if there's a correlation, but anecdotes are fun)....ran into a couple over the last few nights in the Fritz Creek drainage....think I will lump them with razor clams in the "leave alone until better numbers" category....

I took the dog for a stroll in another area tonight that was full of berries, blue and cranberries of both types. No birds to be had. We didn't go far cause momma is about to pop but I was disappointed to not see at least one bird in all those berries!

LuJon, glad to hear they are still in big quantities farther north.
I was remarking to my son just yesterday as we hiked a SRR trail, that I missed the glory days of rounding a corner and seeing a group of 5-10 birds to choose from. It was always fun and easy table fare until snowfall. Love cranberry fed grouse in the pot.

My trick.......early AM (as in first light) drive slowly along the road. They are gobbling gravel for their craw. Flush them off the road shoulder and into the woods. Harvest (Two) with .22 Rim Fire. Go back to the cabin & drink more coffee.........and ponder my option of freezing to death this coming winter, or splitting more wood."Essential......to Prepping for Survival, is to be able to segregate, what you think will happen, from what you hope will happen, from what you fear will happen, from what is happening".
