Bruce;
That's my old hunting ground area. I lived and worked in Thedford for almost all my young adult life. Was in the Bank at Thedford 20 years, and worked in the Hardware Store/Lumber yard 3 years as well.
In the 50's; the Prairie Chicken and Grouse were different birds: One could spot them on a meadow eating the aftergrowth clover, (which came on after they had cut the hay,) and, not slamming your car doors, could actually walk up close enough to shoot them when they flushed. Then, you simply watched where the remainders flew to, maybe 300-400 yards away, and did it again.
Today, if you get them up,they fly for miles.
I wish you a great time and best luck. It to me, is God's country.
