thanks for the info guys! That all helps. NE Wyoming is a high plains desert. There isnt any crop lands... just open, sparse prairie grass and sage brush. Its cattle land, not farm land for sure. The sharp tails I normally find are near the roadside ditches or around oil field pumping units and buildings etc. A few times we have gone out looking for them, we found them in the foothills of a rolling prairie with a rough draw and ponded water in spots. Unfortunately, the area was open for "walk in" hunting, but big game only and not upland birds. I will keep trying and pay more attention when I am mule deer hunting this season. We see sharp tails occasionally while mule deer hunting but they see to just be in random spots on the prairie.
