Rarely-Filmed Ruffed Grouse and Woodcock Hunt in Northern Wisconsin

It’s a celebration of woodcock and ruffed grouse hunting in the thick timber of northern Wisconsin with Ben Jones and David Moore from the Ruffed Grouse Society. These elusive birds are rarely captured on camera.

Are Woodcocks that rare? I was chatting with two of them today in different places in my oak forest.
