Home Forums Birds & Dogs Upland Game How about a photo of your success in the uplands this fall??

Nice shooting there field..

Tough loosing one 's hunting pal.

Go up into the Lochsa towards Montana. Basically any sideroad off of the Lolo Highway. Shotgun Creek, the Papoose Lake Road or anywhere else up there. They're pretty thick up in the higher elevations around there. They seem to like the dark, dense areas. I used to kill the heck out of Spruce grouse up there. They're as dumb as Piddler.

I'm not big on eating them...too dark for me. Much prefer ruffed, though as Shrap says, the blues are are good too and much bigger.

Last week Kate and I had a bit of success on chukar.. Not much, but they didn't skunk us this time..

We also had a bit of luck on huns this year.. Again not much, but they didn't shut us out!!!!

Wyo, I was down on the border above you shooting bunnies and could have sworn I saw a covey of chukars....saw lots of Huns. I was only about 3 miles from Wyoming, and I know our F&G planted chukars in the Pryors, way back in the day. Didn't know of any recent efforts, and these ones were about 15-20 miles west of the Pryors.
Could it be? Or are my eyes deceiving me?

When I went for birds in the late 1990's in Montana, I remember being told that chukars were not common in the state, but there were some in the area you mention.. I didn't hunt there but mostly up around Winnett, and Roundup..
I'll be you did see chukar.. Going back for more bunnies and some huns????

No plans at present..got a freezer full of bunnies and Im just not much of a bird shooter, though I do like to eat them
Id love to get back down there but I just plain don't need any more bunnies ( though I might pop a couple locals...)
That country would no doubt be good for some coyote calling too....

We will be in Northern Wy. some this next mth.. May try calling that area if you don't care!!

All you need up here for yotes is a conservation license ( I think its $8) and if you head up, let me know, I'll point you to a couple spots on the map

Thanks!!!

mtcurman and downstream were kind enough to invite me out last week.

We done pretty good.

Holy buckets!!

Shrap is shooting something that is not Sako and not wood-stocked.

5:02 bird from this afternoon. I would never hunt on the clock.
(notice the trimmed alfalfa, the deer having been having a literal heyday down there)

Congrats Sam.

Nice dog as well, I've always wanted one of them or the blue version. While working in a refinery in Oklahoma years ago, I made friends with a rancher and his lady friend and got invited over for dinner. Watched his dogs(blue heelers) corral some cattle--beautiful thing.

Heelers are nuts...


Cock display.

Aviators drink!

Nice congrats

What make and model is that shootin iron? Pretty nice looking. Looks like a beretta but I'm blind in one eye and can't see out the other

I. Rizzini that Fieldgrade was nice enough to part with.

I about get a woodie every time Sam posts a pic of that Rizzini! What a gorgeous shotgun that is!

Long tail feathers and Aviators...

Did you use your handy winch, or quarter it to load in your pickup?
