A post in a different thread made me think about this. It seems easy, real easy, for people to get in an upland game routine, based on what they're hunting at home. I go pheasant hunting alot, and am fortunate to have prairie birds to hunt as well. We used to have a sage grouse season, I participated in that for years. I've hunted and taken ruffs and spruce grouse while on big game trips-I always take a shotgun along. In fact my first two ruffed grouse were a double, taken with a 16ga Citori.

But I'd love to go on a mule drawn wagon hunt for Bobs--super hard to do for me, its my busiest time of year by far. I'd like to shoot ptarmigan in the North and I'd love to shoot the quail of the desert SW. Perhaps I can do these things now that the girls are getting older.

Thoughts on that?
