One of our cats tries to catch them.

To get them to come closer to her, she even ‘pecks’ up spilled seed under the bird feeders.

At times we have over 50 around the house, but NONE of them, not even the most dominant old toms, has ever thought of attacking us, though they will come up within 3’ of us.

We have roosting trees on the ridge above the house that they return to every year. we have them spriong, summer, and fall; in winter, they move down to lower ground, into & around town.

Hunters have the solution ... and room in the freezer.

Good hunters never have freezer space!

Bash it, bake it, button it.

Rope it, roast it, relate not about it. (Hey, I tried.)

Yep, and in CA we shoot them and take them home to eat:)

It would be cool if they were ptarmigans.
