The G.O.A.T of upland

[z987k]

I like hunting and really like eating them. We got 6 the other day on a dedicated hunt. They can be so weird. In one area you can almost pick them up and in others you can't get within 75 yards and a 22 is the only option. Really good eyesight.
In the winter I routinely have them scare the crap out of me when they flush into my face on skis or a sled.

Capercaillie are the GOAT of upland. They are the largest grouse species. A single bird can cost between $7500 in the Austrian alps to $4000 in Sweden.

I think the snowcock is a way harder bird to get a hold of.

That and only one place and very few mountain ranges in Nevada to do it.
