Pardon my ignorance. I know Sharp-tailed Grouse are still classified as
game birds (as are Sage Grouse), but is there really still a hunting
season on them? I believe Sharp-tailed Grouse are high on the candidate
list for birds in danger of extirpation in Washington. How about Sage
Grouse, are they still hunted also?
