I have a few questions if it's OK...
What elevation did you get this bird? How far was it from water, and what type of water, or were there any other significant landscape features that seemed significant about where you found it?
I notice you're wearing a Final Rise upland vest. I'm considering getting one of those or one by Orvis, so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about it?
If you've eaten that bird, how did it taste or compare to other upland birds?
@timf
Elevation was roughly 12,300'
No nearby standing or running water
The terrain was approximately beachball size rocks with short vegetation intermixed
The Final Rise is the best vest I've worn, no complaints
I'm planning to have at least one, perhaps both mounted. The determination of the tge taxidermist if they're good candidates. Won't be eaten until that is decided.
