This is why I only eat Rosemary Grouse.

It's about thyme.

Sage advice.

What's all the grousing about?

Very informative comments after the article.

NO RLY.

"I don't see any grouse..."

Look at the grouse!



/while you can

Those were some surprisingly intelligent comments after the article. I'm more used to seeing things like "Their just birds! The feds care more about birds then people getting back to work, welcome to 0bama's Amerikkka, libtards! Enoy your welcare checks"

Give them time.

Nice, BUT YOU FORGOT TO TURN ON YOUR CAPS LOCK!

Maybe if the bird evolved into something less delicious, people wouldn't hunt them so often.

God, I haven't had grouse in years. Mmmmmmmmm.

You mean it's being planted in areas that it doesn't live and then murdered by ecoterrorists?

Scrotum birds.

That's all I am gonna say.

Im sure this has NOTHING to do with shutting down Hydro Fracking, really.......

TV's Vinnie: Scrotum birds.

Your scrotum has pointy feathers that come out around your ass?

Came for the Three Stooges reference, leaving happy.

poppycock

So does this mean that a few years after some industry is destroyed and thousands of people lose their jobs and homes to "save" this bird, they'll find these things living well in many other places and protection of their habitat wasn't really necessary to their survival?

Wait, go to the Sikh article and read the comments.

Imagine my surprise when they're also not full of derp.

Is it because people there are actually nicer, or is it that the SL Trib actually enforces its "don't be an ass" policy in the comments?

That's pretty interesting... thanks for the link. And now I wonder too...

Mitch Taylor's Bro: limboslam: So does this mean that a few years after some industry is destroyed and thousands of people lose their jobs and homes to "save" this bird, they'll find these things living well in many other places and protection of their habitat wasn't really necessary to their survival?

No.

It's sagebrush loss. Sage loss is pretty widespread, and isn't due to any one industry or cause. In one place it could be overgrazing, in another it could be clearing for housing developments. The sage grouse has been protected for quite some time and it isn't overhunted to any great degree, so habitat loss is actually a cause for concern--several other species of grouse are also in danger in Western states for the same reason.

It's the 2nd option. Sometimes they disable comments all together if the topic is "too hot."

Ugly, kill with fire.

Grousing about gross grouse.

I live along the Green River and can tell you there is no shortage of sagebrush. Have noticed there are a few less grouse, but still see them often enough. Friend hunts them and, aside from young hens, they don't taste very good at all

/2 cents

I wonder how much of the population loss might be due to the adaptation of coyotes to urban living?
