Flushes from 200 yards and farther out are not uncommon. Sharptail grouse hunting in Nebraska is an upland hunt that usually becomes an added surprise to your pheasant hunt. Because pheasants and sharptail grouse usually share the same upland bird habitat in Nebraska, it is probable that you will come upon some sharptail grouse if you are hunting the big open grasslands of the prairies.

Their sacs on their neck are not as bright or flamboyant as a prairie chickens either. Hunting sharptail grouse in Nebraska is a challenging upland bird hunt as you will usually happen upon them by accident. Because most upland bird hunters have been hunting pheasants all day, and you need to identify roosters from hens, when sharptails flush they resemble pheasant hens and most upland bird hunters hesitate to shoot at them.
