We were out by Meeker last elk season and a turkeysizedbird. We asked a couple of guys and they said they were mountain chickens? Anyone know of them?
Lol. Mountian chickens huh? Did you also see a jackalope running around?
Seriously, it was likely a turkey. There is only one turkey sized ground nesting bird in north america...and that is a turkey.
The next smallest bird would be a grouse, likely blue grouse.
Don't let people pull your leg man.
