Ep. 09 - All Things Ruffed Grouse with Tim Flanigan - Habitat, Conservation, Photography, Hunting

In this week's episode, we have the great honor to interview the legendary Tim Flanigan about all things ruffed grouse. Tim is an accomplished ruffed grouse photographer, hunter, advocate, and conservationist, and he shared with us a wealth of information about ruffed grouse, including:   How to distinguish the difference between a male and a hen ruffed grouse in flight. How far ruffed grouse travel and how big their home range can be. Favorite food sources for ruffed grouse in Appalachia. The correlation between ruffed grouse populations and the hawk migration. How to create a grouse paradise on private land through timber cutting. Why managing for oaks is less important for ruffed grouse than it is for other wildlife. The impact high deer densities can have on ruffed grouse populations. And the best time of day to hunt ruffed grouse, and why.   Follow Tim on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimFlanigan.NatureExposure Visit his website: https://www.natureexposure.com/   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/give_for_grouse/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GiveforGrouse   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GiveforGrouse   Donate to our billboard campaign: HabitatVA.org
