Bane and I attempted to find some sharptail grouse early in Oct to no avail. Switched back to pheasant and quail afterwards and never looked back. Got an invite to try western Nebraska yesterday and jumped at the chance. It was quite a learning experience.

Thousands and thousands of acres of CRP ground and the sharpies were there. Albeit rather spooky. We walked many miles and suffered through some bad wing shooting on my part. Hunting partners were shooting better and we ended up with 7 total. I really enjoyed it and we'll take what we learned and apply it next year. That should be a wrap on the season for us. They are aging in the 44 degree garage and letting them go 5-7 days. Looks like perfect temps to do that in this week. And researching recipes as we go.
