Who's an upland hunter here?
I like all kinds of hunting, but my true passion is upland bird hunting with my GWP and LM, both excellent pointers and good retrievers. Prospects for a banner year here in NE Montana, barring hail stones! Cover is looking excellent and number of birds I have seen in the spring is awesome. Any one else on here starting to think about bird hunting this fall?

Things are looking great on our ground in Central SD. Lots of grass and recent reports say it was a great hatch.
MTHUSKER, I sent you a pm to see if you had interest in swapping some hunts this fall. Let me know if you have interest.

We have Pointing Labs.
Early season, we hunt three species of Grouse (Ruffs, Blues and Franklins) and Doves.
Then we hunt Waterfowl in the morning --- then go for Pheasant and Quail and then back to the duck blinds for the PM flight.

Glad there are a few of us here! Now that big game seasons are going here in Montana, I am trying really hard to still get my two hounds out for some bird hunting, was out with just them this past Saturday and was able to get my birds on my buddy's place just ahead of the blast of winter that arrived yesterday, now it's back to elk hunting, the crew I hunt elk with has taken 4 bulls, all by kids, ages, 17, 15, 14 and 12, now it is time for the adults to get in on the game. Hopefully we don't get dumped on in the upcoming weeks so bird hunting is still doable in December.

I have 3 big game rifles, and 7 shotguns, 6 of them dbl guns, 5 sxs. I would rather hunt birds over a dog than anything else. My old partner Whisky and the best dog that ever owned me, that I lost in June and my new partner in training Brandy.
