The Pembina Hills used to be good for Ruffed Grouse also however the NDG&F seemed to think the area needed Flippn Turkeys. I tried to get an answer why they planted turkeys as were Turkeys native to this area? All I heard was "not sure". Can you find out with all the resource available to you? All I got was silence.In the 60s-80s we had ruffed grouse in the Turtle Mountains and now they are far and few between but the Sharptails moved in and we didn't have them back then.
