top) my first prairie chicken in fish lake.

middle) we stopped on shore to make tea and i shot three more. they are hard to see in this pic, but they are there.  to me, it looks like i have joined a northern chapter of the taliban here.

bottom) wayne with his one of the day that he got with his shot gun while taking a leak.  notice how it's leg is blown to bits.  note to self don't use a shot gun for prairie chicken.
