Regulated jointly as 'Blue (Dusky and Sooty) and Ruffed Grouse' with a shared 3/9 aggregate limit. Same counties/dates as dusky and sooty grouse. 'No changes' from prior cycle. Source: CR 26-13.
No dedicated standalone survey or forecast confirmed for ruffed grouse in Nevada (found primarily in the state's northeast) across two independent search passes; same lower-confidence bucket as California/Gambel's/mountain quail and ring-necked pheasant above -- possible narrative coverage within the unconfirmed historical combined forecast, but no explicit NDOW confirmed-absence statement exists either.
