Last year, I drove from Deeth, NV to Jarbidge. Over the years (everywhere in NV), but especially in that area especially between that road and the Mary’s River, I have seen ridiculous quantities of sage chickens. On this drive, it started at dusk, and I literally, no exaggeration, ran over more than 30 sage chickens. I did not do it on purpose, the damn things were unavoidable, and I will not roll a vehicle to miss a bird. So if I can hit 30 sage chickens on a 20 foot wide 50 mile stretch of road before it started ascending into mountains (and I saw and didn’t hit way more than that), I fail to see how they are endangered.
I’m going to follow you home with a net on my bumper. ;^)
Until you ran ‘em over, they weren’t endangered. But those were the last twenty.
So did you back up and scoop some up.....
how did they taste?
I guess like spotted owl.
Share your recipie.

Last time regarding Jarbidge it was the ‘endangered’ bull trout!

I guess you could say they are endangered if they happen to be on a road you’re driving on.
