Do not overcook.

I know this last one attendance was down 5,000.

Mmm mmm mmm. Prairie chicken are delicious. I'm not a gourmet cook, buy they are really good and easy to prepare.

I know the roosters set up territories, keep other cocks out and crow to attract hens, but do they have a specific "strut zone" like you see with gobbler turkeys or do they just wander all over their territory.

In the book I read it was pretty interesting to read that wild pheasants for the most part only exist west of the Rockies where there is irrigation. Sacramento Valley in CA, various rivers in Utah, Oregon, Washington etc. There were birds stocked all over the place. Arizona, Nevada, imperial...

Gary Cooper might have stayed there too. I know he visited Ernest and hunted sun valley with him. Ruark died at 49 due to liver bleeding/failure.

Wish we could summon up the ghost of old Rob and ask his thoughts on the 28😅. Once I went down the rabbit hole 🕳 on authors and drinking. It's wild how many of them were hard-core alcoholics. Ruark, F. Scott, Hemingway, and many others died due to the drink. Kinda amazed that Ruark could hunt...

How is wild pheasant hunting in Utah? I read a summary but it was written 75 years ago. It had good pockets then.

I tried calling him but he wasn't home. I'll try again in the next few days and let you know what happens. Thanks again.

Should have posted the map to begin with. Year 1952.
