Note: This reserve is a representation of released birds by hunting clubs &/or private lodges in Wyoming similar to Texas Ranch Reserves. All species are native within the sagebrush sea & the surrounding States that circle Wyoming.

The sagebrush sea ranges between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada exists a vast legacy of still wild lands: the Sagebrush Sea ecosystem. Large expanses of sagebrush define this ecosystem, distinguishing it from the grasslands of the Great Plains and the hot deserts of the Southwest.

Since Salzwiesen Park is a Small Game Dedicated Reserve, I'd nudge EW to our US Midwestern Upland Game/Birds & Fur Bearer species in-kind set-in Wyoming's Rich Biomes.

Well…. There is one species of waterfowl I’d want to see…

[brave zodiac]

Some of the species listed are very out of place
• Wyoming has less then 20 wolverines in the entire state and would be better introduced on either Medved, Yukon Valley or a Canadian Arctic Reserve
• No Species of Quail is found in Wyoming
• Spruce Grouse are in a similar place to Wolverines being basically nonexistent in Wyoming, meaning Yukon Valley, Layton Lakes or a Canadian Reserve would be more fitting for them

Regarding Prairie Grouse: The Sharp-tailed Grouse is a type of Prairie Grouse, so I’m not sure why you have “Prairie Grouse” listed separately

Some other species that do live in Wyoming
• Mourning Dove
• Wilson’s Snipe
• Sora
• Virginia Rail
• American Crow
• Merriam’s Turkey

I think a small population of Mule Deer would be nice, 10 males, 10 females.

[desert turtle]

I dont disagree my wife n I were talking about it I just want a reserve that isn't plagued with ducks n geese. Every reserve I've been on all I hear is honks & quacks every 5min driving me to the brink of insanity, however I'll make an exception for cranes.

[desert turtle]

🤣 I knew this would get brought up. Its a bird reserve no different than a texas ranch reserve where several birds are released in. This is very common in the midwest. The species listed are from Wyoming & bordering states. Wyoming also breeds n releases 75% of the listed upland birds in population relief areas across the states. Utah, Dakotas, Nebraska etc. Also take part in this as well.

[desert turtle]

I added wolverines as a fill in if they werent added elsewhere.

Also the sagebrush sea covers 85% of the midwest. So the reserve is divided into northern & southern biomes were all these animals thrive in.

[astral geyser]

Just to let you know, Wyoming has wolves. I see packs of 3 pretty often here and they were declared a predator in the game laws (no limits/license needed) in most of the state. Not particularly large wolves but annoyingly loud ones.

Also, porcupines would be a really cool add as long as they are typically lone animals and sometimes spotted in trees. Seriously, if you lose a track look up cuz it's probably at the top of the tree stripping bark

[desert turtle]

& bc the community is tired of US reserves this was my solution to finalize our US upland Game by presenting a reserve with 90% of our last remaining upland birds & small game in an actual prarie forest location & now since we have a pointer this reserve would be a blast.

[astral geyser]

BTW it's not at all uncommon to have birds released by hunting clubs or private lodges, they aren't recognized by the state but we have quite a few partridges near my place.

I keep a .22 revolver loaded with subsonic ammo for them. It's fun and saves meat

[desert turtle]

oh I'm aware of the wolves & large game but I was aiming to get our uplands a chance over more ducks & geese. And since were getting the new german small game reserve I want a US reserve with our birds and remaining fur bearers like badger, fisher cat, porcupines, skunks etc. & come on its wyoming I had to include prairie dogs 😁

and we finally have a pointer

[desert turtle]

thank you for pointing that out it helps 🤝

[astral geyser]

I've shot like 40 of these little snacks in the last year or so, two different neighbors breed them a d release them

[brave zodiac]

With Salzwiesen Park coming out it does open up the potential for a couple more US Reserves provided they are more focused on small game and birds

For example Hawaii and Nevada are both excellent locations for an Upland Focused Reserve due to species variety

[brave zodiac]

I almost stepped on some partridge in a ditch in a town I was living in for a while
This was up in Alberta, there are some free ranging partridge around

[astral geyser]

I'd be more annoyed if they didn't taste so good

[desert turtle]

But yea it was an idea I had from a hunt I had as a kid yrs back and now since SP is coming I wanted to present a Midwestern Upland bird & fur bearer reserve bc these guys are long passed due since they dont give our US upland & small game credit. So with the new map coming I'd nudge the idea so we get these guys & its another reserve for the new dog. Plus I want to see prairie dogs and pop them when the peak from mounds.

[desert turtle]

I missed a question prairie grouse aka prairie chicken are different from sharp tailed grouse although I will agree they look close to one another & are both mentioned as prairie grouse but they are different.

[brave zodiac]

So that clears that up

Greater Prairie Chicken are much bigger then the listed weight of 1.9oz, though I imagine that was meant to be 19oz

A Greater Prairie Chicken can weigh between 25 and 42oz

[desert turtle]

1.9lbs its a typo on my part

[brave zodiac]

I thought so, still a bit small for even the Lesser Prairie Chicken which can generally weigh over 20oz

[desert turtle]

i used avg. Weights as a staple for the post alot of the game listed could defn. be more than what I listed esp. Between male/female

[brave zodiac]

The weight range for a Lesser Prairie Chicken is 22.1 to 28.7 ounces (630 to 810 g) and the weight range for a Greater Prairie Chicken is 25–42 oz (700–1,200 g) meaning 19 oz is on the low end

[desert turtle]

i was looking at the greater n I'll be honest I did quick searches on alot of them looking at general mass weight 😅 Wiki has them listed as medium sized 1.9lbs so I dont doubt they are bigger.

[astral geyser]

Don't want to overstep but I think you missed an opportunity to add a tiny lodge to the map. Some place to go instead of outposts

[desert turtle]

I ran out of space 😅 after I posted I had to step away for awhile so I didnt get a chance to add more but I have no issue if folks want to add to it I just wanted to get the idea out while I could since we are recieving a similar map concept.

[astral geyser]

I made one, also in Wyoming but more or less a tiny lodge with some hunting opportunities

[desert turtle]

I've always wanted an upland reserve & a pointer ever since we got revontuli & the lab. Waterfowl guys have a reserve now & we need a US upland reserve and get our other prized Game in the game. But I will agree cranes are also missing in our bird list.
