its a shame but more than closing the season needs to be done, have only seen a couple last 4-5 years and have not heard of anyone killing any around here in years.....when I was younger my dad would make a big spaghetti diner with rabbit , quail, woodcock, grouse , squirrel we usually killed 3-5 grouse a year for that usually one line we walked through the swamp about 1/2 mile long you would jump 10-12 every time we walked it.......

The last grouse I have seen was in the 1980's on Lakehurst Naval Base. They appear to be as elusive as the jersey devil in that area now.

And if the anti's get their way the entire bear season will be next.
