- Description:
- Knowledge of ruffed grouse ecology and management is important to enhance grouse populations for public enjoyment and to ensure that ruffed grouse populations remain viable as development and use of its habitat increases. This report summarizes scientific literature on ruffed grouse management and ecology in the central Rocky Mountains (from Utah to central Alberta). We identify management strategies that are applicable in Utah and research needs that could increase the effectiveness of ruffed grouse management in Utah. This report contains 4 sections. In the first section, ruffed grouse ecology in the central Rockies is reviewed to provide a biological background. In the second section, we review ruffed grouse habitat and population management. The third section investigates potential ruffed grouse habitat management and population strategies for Utah. Finally, the last section identifies information needed to more effectively managed ruffed grouse in Utah.
