READ: "ESSENCE: SEARCHING FOR THE HEART OF THE GAME" How do you distill the essence of hunting a gamebird into words? You could write a book. Or you could get at the core of it in, say, 500 spare, stingy words. We gave five of our best writers that challenge for a favorite gamebird of their choice (sage grouse, woodcock, Mearns' quail, sharp-tailed grouse, & ruffed grouse.) Here’s what they had to say. Link in our bio to read all five stories. ✍️: @aemckeen (sage grouse), @mneiduski (woodcock), E. Donnall Thomas Jr. (Mearns' quail), @anthonyhauck_mn (sharp-tailed grouse), @mattsoberg (ruffed grouse) 📸: @blackschmidt #quailforever #pheasantsforever #uplandhunting #calloftheuplands #birddog #upland
