It's Mid September and were on the Montana prairie chasing the flush of sage grouse, sharptail grouse and huns. Follow Along on IG! @uplander_lifestyle @northern_forest_gundogs Uplander Apparel available at uplanderlifestyle.com
Excellent dog work!!!! I’m originally a rabbit hunter, now turned bird hunter. I have a two year old Chocolate Lab. So now I enjoy the best of upland hunting, rabbits and birds!
I hope this generation of young people recognize the need, the importance, and the fun of hunting upland game! Not just protecting what’s left but, expanding suitable range!!!
So sad that sage grouse/hens are so few now compared to the past. I loved hunting them when I was growing up in southern Idaho. Hunting with good dogs is and was the ultimate luxery .
Hey Uplander, I love your videos. Love the Brittanys, too. I'm planning a trip to MT next fall with my two Britts. Would you recommend going Sept 1 for the opener, or waiting until mid-Sept or later to wait until the temperatures come down a bit?
I always enjoy your videos your buddy’s T shirt my drinking buddy is my dog I thought was great. Is there any specific reason you didn’t train your dogs to be steady to wing and shot? I was just curious some do and some don’t so I was just wondering. Looking forward to your next video.
No snakes. Once you start walking around you get more comfortable with it and realize they’re not next to every rock. Even run ins for locals is pretty rare. Shoot me and email if you wanna talk dogs and here more about our Brit’s - uplander18@gmail.com Thanks and good luck this season!
Hey Roger - thanks for following along! Look for ankle high, thin grassland areas. If there's crop lands around that's a bonus, but not needed. If the grass is too thick or high, the sharptail wont be in it. They like areas with elevation changes, usually sitting on top of the highest points around so they can watch their surroundings. Another piece of habitat to mix in with the grassland is some ditches and canyons where shrubby brush can grow up with chokecherry's, rose hips, and other berry's for food and the ditches also offer cover for the birds to hide in on windy and bad weather days. Hope this helps! Good luck and happy hunting with your son.
It was on my mind, but didn't have any run ins. Its something you start to feel more comfortable with once you get out there and start hunting, realizing they're not around every rock you pass.
@@UplanderLifestyle Love to catch up with you sometime. We do a road trip or two every fall with our Britts. I took a couple of young dogs with me on a November mule deer hunt and got in some sharptail work, but not like what you saw.
