Hunt the mountains and look for overgrown clearcuts and high elevation mt laurel.

I've heard that Rich Mountain has a decent grouse hunting. If you try it, let me know how it goes.

Maybe worth trying in Georgia. On Monday the 18th we got 10 flushes in the Nanthahala NF in NC. 2 types of areas seemed to produce: closed logging roads planted to clover, near streams, and bordered by pole age or younger timber (4-10" in dia.)-the birds were feeding in the roads or loafing in the roadside cover; second area was on ridge tops or side of ridge with thick mid-thigh cover, 2-age timber stands, with plenty of chestnut oaks acorns on the ground.
We covered a minimum of 8 miles...turned around after 4 miles straight line from the truck, so put on your boots and get ready to walk. We hunted from about 8am-5pm and it was tough...up & down, but still beat a day at work!
