Is it weird to hear drumming this time of year?

I was down in the Winona area this weekend bowhunting and the grouse were drumming like crazy. I thought that you only hear this in the Spring time? I think it would be pretty hard to have this sound confused with another sound. Saw a lot of grouse though, it was really neat to hear them, why would they be drumming?

It happens far less in the Fall but grouse will drum from Spring to Late Fall. Some say they have heard them in the Winter to but I never have. I heard lots of drumming this past weekend. At least it lets you know they are in the area!

I hear plenty of drumming in the fall. Surprisingly, lots of it in the middle of the night when I'm out camping.

I've snuck up on many grouse while they were drumming. Especially on those sunny, warm days.
