New Bird on the List

[Bruce Day]

So my to-do list while I still can is to shoot and have mounts of all species of North American grouse. I have a few to go, but here's one on my short list. The Himalayan Snow Cock, huntable in a limited range in the high mountains of Nevada. A big bird, about the size of a sage grouse ( small turkey size) that lives above 8,000 ft, so you have to climb for them.

So, this 2013 fall is already full for me but 2014..... And I am friends with a local wildlife biologist/bird guy in Elko. And Charlie says he is game for it at 73 years old, so we're going and I know Dr. Dick will throw in for anything adventurous.
