" Sage Grouse Hunting"
Sage Grouse Season Closed for 2019

Sage grouse hunting is closed for the 2019 season. In 2017, the Fish and Game Commission adopted quotas of zero for all sage grouse hunting zones due to declining population estimates conducted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and this closure remains in effect.

I am sure they are. With birds dying off from climate change, over-development, pollution, etc., I can see these and other threatened/endangered species struggling.
