The most notable characteristic of the Ruffed Grouse isn't how they looks -- it's how they sound. In the spring and a little in the fall, the male ruffed grouse beats the air with his wings to make a loud drumming sound.
expired test strips are NOT reliable. most strips have an expiry date over 2 years from the date of manufacture...... that's a long time for them to be 'sitting around'. as for e-bay........
At my hospital, test strips and controls are good for 30 days after being opened, regardless of what the manufacturer says. Regardless of the dates on the bottles, we have to toss everything after 30 days. Rather wasteful, imo. They are good for 90 days once they are open.
