Ruffed grouse are pretty difficult to breed in captivity, and captive-bred Ruffed Grouse typically lose all their "wildness." Also, few aviculturalists keep this species, and I know of no game ranches that try to stock them. It was quite likely the bird was indeed a wild bird. ----Bill Eddleman, Cape Girardeau At 08:26 PM 1/31/2004 -0600, Lisa Berger wrote: >I don't know of an MDC re-introduction effort, but there are many game >ranches in the Ozarks where people go to pay to hunt all kinds of game.
