Made it out to Eastern MT over the weekend chasing sage grouse, sharpies & huns. Loads of fun, and despite what some may say - sage grouse are delicious. We put up a few coveys of Sage Grouse over 2 days and took 4 of them. The sharpies were all over, and we found a couple of big coveys of huns as well. Fun weekend, and we had some pretty good accommodations at the American Prairie Reserve. APR has a lot of land in block management, and it's pretty darned good sharpie/hun hunting.

Morning walk, about 3 miles from the top down to the Reservoir.

16 gauge x 8mm rimmed Drilling was a joy to carry.

Your photos are superlatively sized, but looks like a fun weekend. I find the conflicting definitions of "land grab" interesting.
 
Looks like a great trip. The country on and around the APR is something else, as is that beautiful shotgun.

How did you cook the Sage Grouse? Thanks for sharing!
 
We breasted & took the thighs then pan fried them with oil, salt, pepper and oregano to just above rare, then put a red wine reduction sauce on them one night, and a white wine reduction on them the next. I preferred the white wine sauce, surprisingly.
 
Quite the gentleman's hunt Ben...like the post pic. Supper fixin's sound appetizing.
 
Well crap, my bucket list just got longer.

Beautiful scattergun, want to loan it out?
 
Well whooopdee freeakin doo.....

I have an 870 that was relegated to a safe queen when I bought my Beretta Urika. ;)

Good choice. :)

Come on over and we'll go together. You're more than welcome to take it for a walk.
