Game Birds—Game Animals Under the Montana game laws the following birds are classed as upland game birds: sharp-tailed grouse, prairie chicken, sage hen or sage grouse, fool hen or Franklin grouse, ruffed grouse, quail, Mongolian pheasant, Chinese pheasant, Hungarian partridge, ptarmigan and wild turkey.
