I'm suprised no one has nominated the wonderful prairie grouse, Sharptails and Chickens. The hunter gets to walk his legs off, watching some beautiful dog work amid the best country a man could find. The flushes are either off the Setter's nose at ten yards or extra full ranges (or more). Should you carry the 30" full and fuller or the 26" cut-barrel cyl/cyl? Twelve or twenty? 7's or 5's? Trust me, whatever your choice, you shoulda' brought the other one. You are more likely to bump a new covey than find singles after the flush. The good news, seasons are early and the weather is usually delightful, crisp with a little frost to hold scent for the dogs in the morning. By afternoon you hunt from windmill to windmill, not because of where the birds might be but to cool off the dogs.
On the table, the best!
