Hi Folks, As you may have heard from some folks that recently traveled to the area - the traditional spot along Fire Lane Road for Spruce Grouse is now largely fenced. I asked the local forester and it appears that much of the private land here has been bought by one landowner and he has put in a fence (I don't know why). This shouldn't prohibit road birding - but I'm not sure how it will impact the grouse, etc. This area has always been privately owned but there are lots of public acres around that area that you can still explore for grouse, etc. Check the Vilas County maps, etc. for more information.
