Steve: My thoughts were on the ruffs, but a sharptail grouse, or Prairie Chicken as people in the plains states call them is certainly a good way to spend September 15th. What do you folks call true Prairie Chickens?

Erik:
I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan and hunted grouse in the Manistee National Forest. I left for awhile and then lived in Michigan again from 1981 to 1992 in both Traverse Ciy and Marquette. Unfortunately, I now find myself back in Illinois. Funny how there are never any grouse anywhere in the United States.

For the life of me I can not figure out how to add the smiley faces?
