Not anymore.

The grouse and Turkey population has quadrupled over the last 5 years though. So that's nice.

I've just never had luck, and I haven't been out for birds in years. I've only been to public land, but the last time I went out was about 4 years ago down by the Missouri river and we kicked up 6 hens and no roosters. I'm sure they are around, but I have seen so few in the times I've gone out that I just figure either they are really dwindling or I just don't have any good spots.
