January 13, 2026 by Ruffed Grouse Society

With heavy hearts, we share the news that Glen Robert Blackwood, a beloved friend, colleague and devoted conservationist, passed away on Dec. 29, 2025, at age 62.

Member Spotlight: John Paige

December 10, 2025 by Ruffed Grouse Society

John Paige grew up on a farm near Kawkawlin, Michigan, and wasn’t introduced to ruffed grouse, woodcock or setters until later in life.
