Might try gettin in woods. I've kicked up 5 grouse and 2 woodcock in the last 3 days chasin squirrels w/ the dogs. While the grouse populations are low, there're still birds around. You can't chase much game sittin at the keyboard. All the birds I've seen this year were on public ground, and I WASN'T in "prime" grouse habitat when I kicked 'em up.
