I know that it is not East TN , but I flushed 3 on a little farm around the Canton area in NC a few years ago. I wasn't hunting but looking the property over. On a mountainside that was covered in blackberry and other thick stuff. Surprised the heck out of me to see them there. Only ones I have ever seen.

The landowner, and a few of the club members are working with Zac Chandler from the Ruff Grouse Society to improve the habitat.

always see grouse in Shady Valley area of Cherokee. it's tough walking if you actually get off of the logging roads though. these grouse are a young mans game, or an old man that wouldn't mind dying in a beautiful place...
Nothing like a Grouse flushing from under your feet.
An ATV and an H&R Topper .410 will kill more grouse in TN than two $10k English Setters can produce for you. Coyotes , raccoons, hawks and yes environmentalists have hurt grouse hunting in TN.

In Northern Maine, they call them partridge if they are shot on the ground, and grouse if they are shot in the air. Most are definitely shot from the road as "partridge". I will admit, hunting up there 4 different times in my youth, I killed the piss out of them with a Win model 42 410. Most were "partridge"
