Looks like prairie chickens to me. Am I correct? There were lots of those birds where I was raised in SE KS in the blue grass hills area around El Dorado, KS.

I dunno what a prarie chicken is. we are hunting forest grouse, the smaller birds are ruffed grouse. The bigger ones are blue grouse or pine hens. We do hunt sage grouse and sharp tail but they live in the sage brushy areas of the county its about 40 minutes to go find them, they might be what you call prarie chickens. Anyone who has ever eaten a full grown sage grouse can attest to the fact that if you have an old pair of boots eat those first. Kinda cool though they get the biggest of the grouse family here. Bigger then a domestic chicken. we call then brush bombers. Went tonight and my daughter shot a couple blues we came home and ate them for dinner. Very nice
