This state's classification carries no date range for the species.
Columbian sharp-tailed grouse; present in WA but explicitly closed to hunting statewide; WDFW's own grouse-ID pages caption it as 'protected'.
Columbian sharp-tailed grouse is state-endangered and closed to hunting statewide, but WDFW actively searches for and counts leks in the same Douglas County core area as sage-grouse (same monitoring effort, same named leks); population described as continuing to decrease. No standalone annual lek-count report was found distinct from the recovery-plan documents -- active monitoring confirmed, but no discrete dated report to capture.
