YUP! Then we could all have had a 4 mile walk. Carrying our shoties and ammo. I hit a dozen hunks of state covered in tall grass. Some BMA's and even a Waterfowl production area, most had some water and huge amounts of hoppers. Food, water and cover but not a sign of a grouse ever being anyplace near. No tracks, droppings or feathers. I have been hearing reports that the cold spring and HOT summer took a toll on the upland birds. That is just what I saw too. I did see one pheasant. Three deer all does and many antelope. The bucks are setting up there sections of land waiting for the flocks of does to trip by. A few of the bucks where very nice and looked to be in great shape. This time of year there very stupid like they have never seen a truck stop and glass them, they will lose that soon... ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

D, Were you anywhere near the Sun River Game Range? I haven't hunted it for sharptail for over 40 years. ------------- Trigger Control is knowing when not to pull it. |

No nowhere near there. Went north of town to Power. Freezout used to have good numbers of sharptail 40 years ago. So did Pishkun reservoir.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
