Statewide Ruffed Grouse drum counts increased 34%
this year.
Increases were driven by changes in
the northern portion of the state, in the prime ruffed grouse range.
This increase is consistent with changes expected with
the 10 year cycle, with the most recent peak
in drum counts during 2009.
The cycle is less pronounced in the more southern regions of the state, near the edge of their range.
