Any Advise?

[KSN]

I am looking to hunt for new upland game birds in Colorado. Greater Prairie Chickens and Grouse. I have hunted pheasant and quail but have never gone after any other upland game birds like these. I have seen some pictures recently that the state has signs for specific areas for these types of upland birds but I don't know if those are only in specific places or just throughout the range. I have looked at the map for the particular areas for each but any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks In Advance!

Prairie chickens are fairly common in NE Colorado. What kind of grouse are you wanting to hunt?

Thanks

Sharptails mostly... I have heard the dusky stays in the trees?

My experience with Prairie Chickens in eastern CO and western NE is you usually encounter them while pheasant hunting. Your first reaction is hen! hen! hen!. Then as the bird(s) fly out of range you exclaim "rats##@$#, those were prairie chickens."
