Once again, Boomers climb the ladder of funded Colleges, and than lift the ladder up behind them.

I was going to bring this up as well. Which is a shame. Though PA overall is a blue working class vibe that people like. Pockets of crazy in the middle.

She’s not accused anymore - dead-eyed Methany is guilty.

Never seen a grouse in pa? City life?
the population isn’t what it was 10-15 years ago but I’ve noticed in the area I live they are coming back with the clear cuts.

Don't get me started on porcupines. They have desroyed so much of our stuff, its been a never ending battle. Insult to injury is that they aren't even good eating!
Our attempt to combat them this year is going to be to, instead of protect everything from them, and "exterminate" them, we are going to try to put a salt block out on a stump... Basically a sacrificial anode for our cabin, lol.

Closer to turkeys. They fly and can fly decent distances, but they don't just fly around all willy nilly. Its rare to see one in flight when it wasn't you that spooked one.
The one that landed in my treestand got kicked up by my dad.

Also random question: do ruffed grouse fly? Like a Robin would? Or are the more like Turkey - can fly short bouts?

If I'm doing 15mph or more over and that isn't good enough leave earlier.

I actually worked for that professor as an intern SCUBA diving and surveying for hellbenders for a summer. I gave my biology capstone presentation on the findings. Awesome animals and sadly as is the way with many things in Pennsylvania, a lesson in conservation.

Yeah. I’d add that they should look at Susquehanna County and Wayne County as well as the Lackawanna Valley.

Dauphin here. Never had them until a couple years ago. They're not close, climbing pretty far up a ridge not far from our house heard one. Could not believe it. And yep. 3 years in a row same spot.
Of course we have porcupine now too. Cool stuff balanced out. Those things are a giant pain to have around plus fishers were introduced as a predator. Which means those grouse won't be around long.

From the article:
> PA Woman Accused Of Stealing Nancy Pelosi's Laptop At Jan. 6 Riot Sentenced
> Former Mechanicsburg/Harrisburg woman, Riley June Williams has been sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Thursday, March 23, 2023 after she was convicted on charges related to the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol— infamously in connection with the theft of Nancy Pelosi's laptop.
> The 23-year-old had been charged with stealing a laptop from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, entering a restricted building and other related offenses.
> Nearly two years ago, Oct. 19, 2021, Williams pleaded not guilty to all eight charges, but she was found guilty on six charges in connection with the theft of the Speaker of the House’s laptop among other charges in connection with the insurrection, on Nov. 21, 2022, according to court documents and multiple media outlets.
> The jury could not come to a consensus on whether or not she "aided and abetted in the theft" of the laptop or if she "obstructed the certification of the presidential election," according to Scott MacFarlane, a CBS correspondent.
> And previously disputed evidence about her role in stealing a gavel and hardrive from Nancy Pelosi's office is now being permitted, according to court documents.
> During the sentencing, Judge Jackson called her behavior on Jan. 6 "utterly reprehensible,” as NBC News reported. Jackson sentenced Williams to three years confinement.
> Notably, Williams was previously only under house arrest and despite multiple terms violations, she was permitted to go to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, not once but twice.
