Ruffed grouse prints
Ruffed grouse breaking from cover were one of his steadiest subjects. A dealer’s list has more than two dozen grouse editions, most of them signed and numbered in editions of 450 to 950.1234
Maass called the ruffed grouse one of the top game birds across the northern United States and into Canada. He designed the Ruffed Grouse Society’s stamp and print for 1980.56
Several grouse prints belong to his series. Winter Wonder – Ruffed Grouse, three birds by a small runoff in the woods after a heavy, wet March snowfall, was an edition of 2,500. There are grouse versions of Misty Morning and Evening Flight too.578

David Maass prints in general
His large limited editions are signed and numbered. Wild Wings describes one as a limited edition of 750 signed and numbered prints, and a dealer sells them with a certificate of authenticity.2324
Many of his titles are series, so the short title is not enough. Misty Morning exists with green-winged teal, woodcock, ruffed grouse, mallards, wood ducks and bobwhite quail; Evening Flight with mallards, wood ducks, ruffed grouse and pheasants. Each is a separate edition.12526
Not every print is a limited edition. Wild Wings sells 11 × 14 inch “Art Prints” of his pictures in a collector’s sleeve, with a certificate of authenticity that has a holographic seal; the page mentions no signature or edition size. It also sells open-edition prints from its Great Northern Art line.2717
