Understand how the Drumming sound is created @scout-n-hunt2279 The male grouse creates the noise by leaning back on its tail and striking his wings against the air, forming a momentary vacuum. This noise will last from 5-8 seconds and can be heard up to ½ mile away along lakes and ¼ mile in the woods. In dense pine and spruce cover, the sound may only carry for 1/8th of a mile. The male grouse will typically beat his wings 45-48 times within 5 to 8 seconds of drumming.
