As autumn arrives in the northern states, bird hunters look forward to ruffed grouse season. On this episode of On the Wing Podcast, Jeremy Collard from the Ruffed Grouse Society joins host Bob St.Pierre to discuss the 2025 outlook for ruffed grouse hunting. St.Pierre also shares his “Yooper” roots and highlights the release of PF & QF’s second Opening Day film about celebrating the opener with the people you love.

The conversation covers:

• Ruffed grouse hunting forecast: The guys chat about the upcoming prospects for this year’s hunting season with a focus on the Great Lakes states of Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
• Ruffed grouse hunting tips: The duo also discuss tips for hunting ruffed grouse during the early season when the forest is a jungle of green vegetation, tactics during the mid-season after the leaves fall, as well as strategies for finding birds when there is snow on the ground at the end of the hunting calendar.
