Was able to spend a morning on a lek with 1/2 a dozen birds. Populations of Sage grouse populations in this area have fallen drastically in recent years.

Great hunting and decent eating too. Cleaning them was another deal. Smelliest guts ever..... must be their diet. They aren't doing well anywhere it seems. Pete

I’m not a expert on them, but had a Sage grouse biologist tell me one time that Bobcats were really hard on them in the big Sage country. It was his feeling that coyote control work was actually detrimental to Sage grouse as it allowed the bobcat populations to increase. With that said it was only 1 guys opinion and I’m not sure what his motives were, could have easily been a greenie.
