Thanks dude!

Thanks man, you and I both!

Absolutely! Thanks for following along.

Thanks Scott. Fun place to hunt! Still have a few videos coming out over the next few weeks from our trip to Montana in September.

@@UplanderLifestyle I spend the months of Sept and Oct in Montanna every year!!!!!

Thanks Scott! Looks you had a great trip down in AZ as well.

Hes a good one, I'll keep him around.

Awesome, if you can make the trip do it. It was a Grey Fox at the end, and lucky for the fox I missed.

Thanks a lot for following along Bruce!

Thanks mark! Yes all public accessible land.

Thanks man, gun only needs to be plugged when it comes to migratory birds.

@@UplanderLifestyle I have hunted in AZ for 30 years and never knew this. Always had my Remington 1100 S.F. plugged. DANG!!

That pretty much sums it up, make some good eats out of the birds 👍🏻 Sometimes we'll save a few feathers or tailfans for memories.

Honestly couldn't tell you 100% if there is a specific map that has tanks marked. We use OnX, and although the tanks themselves aren't marked, they're pretty easy to spot and pick out when going over the map and eScouting.

@@UplanderLifestyle Thanks for the info.

The Side by Side is a Stoeger Uplander and the Auto Loader is a Weatherby Element Deluxe

Thanks for the comment! The plug is only needed for ducks and migratory birds. I shot and carried steel throughout the entire trip.

I re-read the regs and you sir are 100% correct. Good on you and I learned something new! Looks like it’s Crow for dinner, no Turkey for me. Well, thank you and Happy Thanksgiving! Beautiful dogs btw!

@@h2oburke thank you! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family as well. And good luck the rest of season!

Plugged guns only apply to waterfowl, not small game/upland birds. Per page 61 of AZ hunting digest, R12-4-301 and R12-4-304. Legal to hunt with up to 5 in the tube +1 in the chamber. Thanks.

@@UplanderLifestyle are doves small game ?

@@onlyinmaine3290 doves are a migratory bird, so if you were actively hunting them, yeah you’d need a plug. But the season closes at the end of the year and this was well past dove season and into the new year.

Dogs threw caution to the wind and ran through cactus like it wasn't even there. As far as having to boot the dogs, I'd feel more comfortable not booting them if I was continuously running dogs in that country and their feet were conditioned to it. Some people we had seen online, their dog's pads were ruined in one day from running in that country because they didn't boot them. It just wasn't worth the risk to not boot the dogs and loose the dog power. I didn't boot dogs every spot, if it was softer soil and not as many rocks I didn't boot them. The rocks were my main concern when it came to booting the dogs. Cactus, thorns that kind of stuff didn't bother me, thorns can be pulled out. A ripped pad from rocks puts a dog on the sidelines pretty fast.

@@UplanderLifestyle yeah that sounds sensible. I run into some cactus in Mt has never slowed anyone down. Thx

Appreciate that - and thanks for following along!

@@UplanderLifestyle how long does it usually take for a finished dog

@@Okay17282 Depends on what you want out of your dog. By age 2-3 a dog should be broke enough to hunt and seen enough wild birds to be able to work them well.

@@UplanderLifestyle ok, I go to a bird dog training place where I train my Brittany and it’s kinda hard to tell for your dog when you see these 10 month olds or year olds gsp super stars lol 😂

Thanks for following along and the comment John! The gun in this vid is a Weatherby Element Deluxe, 12 gauge.
