10-19 SS Sage Grouse Hunt

 Hi Everyone. This is SS, I’m David Sparks and at least so far this season, sage grouse don’t seem to be in upland bird hunter’s sights. Talk to ya’ in a minute. The on-line newspaper Magic Valley.com had a clever little line that said “If you blinked, you missed the 2010 sage grouse season. And many hunters chose to blink.

That’s the conclusion Idaho Department of Fish and Game biologists are drawing from data collected from returning hunters during opening weekend of the weeklong sage grouse season. I talked to Ann Moser about why this is the case.
