Bad dog owners

Great pics MNMT! I have one question for you. Have you ever found a way to cook and eat those nasty chickens? Sharp-tails are one of the chalkiest, gamiest, birds I have ever tried to eat! Don't know how else to describe that taste. I even tried smoking them like a pheasant. I tried to pass them off onto my kids as smoked pheasant but they wouldn't even eat it. Please let me know if you have a recipe.

The liberal mod has been having a bad week:eek: Some day he'll learn to play nice. He's mad I'm grazing cattle on federal ground. I had the power to get this program going I guess. Now he's name calling and making meaningless comments. All facts wisturkeyhunter hunter:)

Mr. Coot, Sir?

If you would, please, don't call folks names, and don't continue to provoke a contentious subject.

Thank you, very much.

I don't think I said any of that.

Yes, go play outside you'll feel better.

Wasn't talking to you. Just a note on the topic. Worried about a stray dog or two?. But no biggie on a bad stretch of bird numbers to have cattle destroy nesting habitat? Just seems sort of "off". And coot your post was deleted. Member attacks is not needed. You are wrong. I never called you anything. In that thread I referred to the people responsible for mismanagement and heads of big ag and cattlemen's assoc. You chose to twist it in to a personal attack. Not me. I never once said a thing about you being greedy. You turned it in to that referencing it as all farmers. Which is totally false. After all, that would include myself, my mom, dad, uncles, cousins etc who farm over 10,000 acres. So please stop the personal attacks. Thanks

Your personal attacks are not needed and could not be a bigger lie. This odd behavior needs to stop. I never called you anything. Let it go. Had it not gotten lost in moving to the habitat forum everyone would see I was referring to the national cattlemen's assoc and big ag. And you sir do nothing but stir pots and provoke several arguments in several threads. I for one am tired of it. So again. Please stop and let it go. And this mentality that you have against moderators posting needs to stop as well. You mocking us gets old. I worked my but off on here for years. I brought up the idea twice of getting new ones, simply because I am tired of this and the thought that we should just go away because you grew a personal hatred for some reason on a topic a moderator disagreed with you on. Now, that said, back to your bad dog owners. Have you ever thought to simply ask the guy? Or if there is a leash law? If there is why not simply call the sherrif?.

I haven't hunted sharptails much but there really is no mistaking the 2 if you've saw hen pheasants fly.

You would think so, right. The group of guys I hunt with (in SD and elsewhere) have been hunting pheasants for some time and still can't tell the difference.:confused:

Each time a sharpie or a chicken goes up all of them besides my old man are yelling "hen". lol

At this point if I yell "take it" they know it's not a hen. One of them called "hen" on a Hun a few years back. How he confused the two is beyond me.lol

Dang you Coot. You managed to get comments deleted and a whole thread deleted. I could only muster getting comments deleted. What's the forum coming to?

After hours of reading through the regs:D, yes you can shoot male and female "other birds".

I think it has more to do with what you grew up hunting. When I was a kid hunting in kansas, if it was brown you didnt shoot. That is hard to break. I have made many a trip to SD the last twenty years or so. When they come up I still hesitate a bit. It is pretty easy to distinguish them.

Some of us are just more gifted then others:D A wise conservationist told me once. The guy the bitches the must wanted to be a great conservationist but he decided being the local drunk hunter was a better career path:D
 
My first experience with Sharptails was in NE WY. I was 13 or so never seen them before. Thought they were Prairie Chickens. :confused:
I do Sept upland hunt every year, just for the Sharpies, Huns and often it's been for Sage Grouse.
So I've had some time to learn and identify the species. And there is no mistaken for me.
Color for one thing, hen pheasants and young roosters are very brown. Sharptails are a speckled sort of gray. Round bodies and stub tails. Wings are shorter and rounder on the Sharpie, and they usually cluck. :cheers:

Once pheasant season rolls around I may take a couple Sharpies, but then it becomes time for roosters and I mostly pass on the grouse.
