Nice pics. To bad about the dry trip. We saw a bunch of them in the spring when I was there the last time I shot pdogs. We had a 2 day season on the Yakima firing ctr many years ago. If I remember it was nov 15-16 for a few years. I shot my one bird. Its the only greater sage grouse I have ever shot. It was lousy eatin, but a neat bird.
Good Luck in SD!
