In this episode we're talking with Virginia DWR Upland Game Bird Biologist, Mike Dye, about the status of the Ruffed Grouse in Appalachia. Mike is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the species and it's management, and in this episode he communicates clearly the trajectory of ruffed grouse in Virginia over the last 100 years, what private landowners can do on their property to improve habitat for ruffed grouse, and what the biggest hurdles grouse have to overcome. This is an incredible episode from a passionate conservationist that you'll surely want to listen to!
