Going After PRAIRIE CHICKENS! Extreme Heat, Severe Storms, Shooting Slump & Scouting Tactics! 

everyone gets in a slump, dont beat yourself up, keep a good attitude ,make sure your gun and ammo youll be using has been patterned well so you know confidently your throwing a good lethal pattern, and use whatever gun you shoot well. Ive noticed sometimes when you shoot you jerk the gun to the side, is this something you are doing on purpose or are you just all jacked up on excitement or ?? love your vids and your pups, they are real characters ..

So proud of you and all of the dogs! Congratulations on a successful and safe trip! ❤

Love your videos man, and I feel your pain. Constantly missing which is why I use a semi with plug removed. All the walking on public land to find birds I want every advantage I can get. I've got a GSP named Ember also... Great name and hunting!

Stoked to watch this!

Fantastic, nice chicken!

Excellent!! Can’t wait to do this myself!

Thanks for talking through your approach to an area!!! Really helpful for a newbie like me!

Great West trip videos man. Thanks for sharing!

Great video and dog work Cliff looking forward to your Michigan hunts.

Great series!

Congratulations on a fantastic trip. I've watched and enjoyed everyone of your videos. I learned a lot from watching you and your buddy Justin, from Northern Forest Gun Dogs. I watch all his videos too. You guys are awesome trainers and upland hunters! Changing guns to get the tighter chokes was a great call. I'm looking forward to your future videos this fall.

Love the videos, you’re doin some great work out there.

Awesome video! Love the longer format! Awesome dog work as always, watching Yeti creep up that ditch for the chicken was awesome, and shooting slumps come and go! Bright side is you're out enjoying the land and spending time with the pups! Awesome work and good luck back up here in the northwoods!

Thanks for sharing all your adventure on the prairies. I thoroughly enjoyed them all. Looking forward to your Michigan hunts. I have been chasing woodcock and grouse here in MI for the last week.

Congrats on the mixed bag. I got mine last week.

Great video

Nice video, enjoyed watching!! Hope to see some videos of ruffed grouse hunts in the north woods.

Nice work October 15 is the start day for eastern Oregon my dogs are going crazy we’re getting some nice ruffs and blues on the west side ware I live but the real fun is yet to come

Cool video.

Great hunt man love the dogs I think they call them. Sage grouse

Congrats on the Prairie Chicken. I had a covey of 30+ fly over me one morning, wasn't in the field 5 minutes, guess what...."click" for some reason the shell wasn't racked in all the way. I was so bummed!!

Love your videos! Really like your merchandise!! What gun is you side by side?? Maybe a video reviewing your guns, ammo, etc...

Scanning out the cover.

😂. You don't suck bro. Bad day's happen. In 2019 I took a trip to Gettysburg. SD for pheasant. I knocked down 12 my 2nd to last day and only took 1 back to my buddies house. They just wouldn't die and kept running into fields that hadn't been cut down yet. I even bought some really expensive pheasant loads, knocked the last one down and it ran. My shooting was on point but the birds were wearing Kevlar. I felt defeated, upset, pointless and needlessly injuring birds the dogs couldn't find. The next day I reflected on why I was hitting birds but not getting them and it wasn't the dog's. They did their job's. My last day I got my bag limit and felt great. I just needed to lead my shots a bit further to get head hits. BTW, when I was living in ND, I used to find tons of prairie chickens along the train tracks. Big groups of 8-12. Just a tip for ya. Go get em. God Bless.

I always enjoy your videos. I am three weeks into my six week adventure between Montana and North Dakota first time ever to be gone that long from home. What state were you hunting chickens in thanks for sharing your videos and dog work.

I think you're browning the coveys, aim for one bird in particular for each shot as there's far more airspace to let shot through otherwise. All my bird hunting guns have improved cylinder in both barrels which is good, with correct sized shot, out to 40 odd yards.

I. Realized. Back. In. The. Mid. 1980s. When. The. Dog. Points... a. Covey. Of. Quail... grouse... or. The. Gunner... walks. Into. A. Multi. Pheasant. Flush... especially.. on. 3. Or. More. Bird. Limits... the. Autoloader. Has. It's. Place.... but. I. STill. Get. A. Special. Feeling.... look.on. down. The. Barrels. Of. A. Sxs. Or. Olu... good. Videos..... have. A. Nice. Day....

Not blowing you load on the first flush is key , 90%flush immediately the last 10% will be late

In southwestern Ohio. Always wanted to go west and get on wild birds. One day. Yeah the snake issue. Love my GSP to much. How far east do prairie chickens range lol.

Bad ass bud! Acting like me out there doggin for yourself!😂 congrats on the chimkens! I told J that they’re next on my hit list! But lmk if you want some company when you hit them northwoods!

Maybe I missed it, but what state are you hunting? SD, Nebraska?

Just wanna ask Where you are from?❤❤

Just found this. What state? Great little dogs. Sharpies and chickens are on my bucket list. You shoot like me lol. bright side don"\'t have to clean

how do you approach the land owners for hunting permission? how do you determine who owns what ever field you are going to hunt?

What state is this in?

What kind of dogs are you running?

Can a slump last a year because i think i was in one all of last year???

what choke

I don't recommend s&s shot guns. There are cool vintage pieces that should be left on the wall as decor. O/U or semi. Avoid 20 guages.

heck, a double barrel is just a semi auto with one less shot and better swinging characteristics. LOL. Who cares what people think

W.hen you crossed the fence you had a loaded gun in your hands. Not safe gun handling.

Who would badmouth you for shooting an auto? That's literally all I have. I'd rather carry 5 shells and 1 barrel.

What a crappy hunter 😂😂

Videos are cool, but you are sending a shit ton of people to your lands to hunt and crowd.

SAGE HENS LOVE BAD LANDS , SO WHEN YOU SEE CATTLE THATS WERE SAGE HENS LOVE IT AND WER CATTLE ARE THEY WILL ALWAYS BE WATER HOLES FOR THE CATTLE AND THATS WERE YOU WILL FIND MOST OF THE SAGE HENS ....

THEY ARE CALLED Sage hen !!!!!

go practice on clays --

what choke
