Pic was taken in Northern Wis about a week ago.

Is that a fawn in there? or a grouse? lol

Thanks to Gopher I see a grouse If I was in that area I would have said "Heck all I saw was some grass" Good job spotting that grouse and taking the time to get a picture.

You guys are good. It is a ruffed grouse.

The nest was just 20 feet off the driveway at my cabin in Wis. My dog Pine found it and I had to keep him away from the nest until I left the cabin.

Here is a pic of the eggs and a better one of the hen.

Yep thats the one.

There were 11 eggs when I left for the T&TH hunt by you and 12 when I got back. So she laid another egg and began incubating by the time I got back to my cabin.
