Looks like the Great Falls area. I've hunted there some and had good hunting. Lots of very wide open grain fields that go forever.

I assume these are Sage Grouse. What is your recipe? I eat almost any bird, but I have found Sage Grouse to be more difficult to prepare.

Last time I tried the dogs liked them more than I did.

I will try long soaking in milk then marinating in oil and herbs. And I’ll see.

Back in the hills by a long bumpy ride is a original cabin that is maintained by the local people. The door is always unlocked and kept as you see it here. Heritage preserved.

We got blown out from flogging trout waters but we have a stylish acutrement for Dick’s dog Archie. It’s not every bird dog that can boast an Hello Kitty collar and LBGQT rainbow bow tie.

And people wonder why their dog bites them?

I am not being judgmental, but am truly curious. Why do folks shoot sage grouse? My understanding is they are hard to find but easy to shoot, and most people don't like them to eat or feed them to the dogs, as you've alluded to.

They are hard to find but locally plentiful. The season , bag limit and location are well regulated. Sage grouse need sage , when the sage is ripped up or burned , the habitat is lost. We hunt where they are plentiful. Some years we see many , other years none. This year has grasshoppers everywhere so the bird population climbed significantly .

Many people do not know where in the vast sagebrush sea the birds may be found. Others have difficulty hunting them . Many people consider them a prize as one of the North American grouse species . We killed three out of two
groups totaling 40-50 birds . Even so it was a 10 mile walk in rolling terrain . I believe they had not been hunted this year and the season is short and closed now.

Many hunters struggle with the difficulty of this sort of hunt. I have taken some folks out who are done after a couple miles.

The first year birds are palatable , the older birds not so much.
