Sharptails and Prairie Chkckens?

[bessiedog]

OK... I'm a bit confused here.

I was reading another different, almost as good as AO magazine, and They had a picture of Prairie Chickens.

I remember being taught as a kid that they were extinct.

Are they?

Is this another name for sharpies?

They sure look like greater Prairie Chickens.

Can anyone help?

Speaking of big birds..... I tried to hunt Sage grouse way back when they were legal (it turned out to be the last year of that hunt). Anyone know what the population levels are currently like and if a hunt will ever be allowed again??
