Well they did try something on about the same scale when they tried to "list" the prairie dogs.
The Wyoming toad , and the preebles jumping mouse have kept folks pretty busy on this side of the divide for quite a number of years.
Can't speak to other states, but the Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts has been involved with this Sage Grouse thing pretty heavily for several years, and have been able to get some things agreed to by both production ag and natural resource people and the "save the grouse " folks.
Lots of things to be done yet, and it'll likely turn out to be like most "endangered" species, it'll all hinge on a judges political leanings in the end.
