I wish I were more familiar with game birds. I might have heard a quail, but I doubt I've ever seen one. I hear about people hunting grouse while they're elk/deer hunting, but I don't think I've ever heard/seen one of those either.
I just recently found out that those large flocks of very large, and very loud (but high in altitude so they are barely audible) birds I see over my land up in Pawnee in the fall are probably Sandhill Cranes.
Once you start finding Dusky Grouse or White-tailed Ptarmigan, watch and listen to their clucks and grousing, the feet as they scratch, their wings as they fly. In the future you will recognize it beyond background noise. I'll typically find a half dozen to thirty or more grouse during elk season. I never hunt them during season as it's a distraction from my primary goal. I used to hunt grouse on pre-season conditioning hikes.
Oh yeah, definitely Sandhill Cranes!Quote:

Steven Rinella often describes the call of a Dusky Grouse sounding like a farmer trying to start an old tractor. Pretty sure this would have caught my attention while hunting.Quote:

Went to two gun stores and did not want anything I saw. Strange.
