Population outlook

Utah 2026

Awaiting survey — Utah 2026

Confirmed absence: UDWR's own public statements say biologists 'don't conduct formal grouse surveys, but they do observe the birds while working in the field.' No dedicated dusky grouse population survey exists; incidental observations feed only a general narrative article, not a discrete report.
