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?
Chi-town, The Nebraska Game Commission refers to them in the aggregate as "Prairie Grouse." The Sharptails are located in the western part of the state, with a few Greater Prairie Chickens mixed in. Here in SE Nebr. there is a remnant population of GPC's that are locally referred to as "Chickens." If you ever wanted to see just how big your dog will run, this is the place to find out.
