      Protect them from what?
      If you mean hunting, please be aware of some FACTS. Sage grouse are hunted legally in 10 of the 11 states they reside in. There has NEVER been a species hunted to extinction by legal sport hunting, since 1910. Hunting seasons, and limits are scientifically set by state and federal agencies, to only take the excess over carrying capacity. BTW, so called "conservationists are all about talk, and noise. Hunters PAY for conservation with license fees, and boosting local revenues, and mostly with voluntary taxes paid into the Pitman- Robertson fund to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars. There is a huge difference between protectionism, and conservation.
