Starting to plan my 2015 upland schedule.
Anyone interested in a group hunt in MT and ND for pheasants and sharptails? DYI and if interested set up a few days of tresspass hunts in ND or SD for pheasants.
For those like to fly fish a day or two on the Big Horn. I know river fairly well.
And possibly a separate hunt in ID or OR for chukars?
Thinking last part of Oct or first week Nov timeframe

This sounds like a lot of fun.. I am not sure about the chukars, but pheasants and sharpies are more my speed.. Much depends on the special permits we draw this fall.. An excellent chance for a sheep tag.. That would be pretty important..

ribka I might be able to. Keep me posted on your plans. Maybe I can get Battue too! We don't really need him, but his dog is worth having along......

Well Toby said if you are in he would consider. However, at 10 Toby has slowed down and in fact has just recovered from a serious prostate infection that had us concerned. Couldn't go to the BR was my first clue. Then he shut down on eating and became real lethargic. All three symptoms were extremely odd for him. After two days I had him at the Vet. He had a pretty good fever. They did a sonogram and a bunch of blood tests which told the tale. After three days on the antibiotic he finally came around. Looking for a backup for him to lead around and show him/her the ropes. Funny thing was I had just been giving him a new food that didn't have any corn. Now we know that didn't cause the problem, but you can't tell him that. He will not touch the stuff. Gives it a sniff, looks up at me and says, "No way!!!!" Put his old food into the dish and he dives in.

Thanks,
I do my best to ignore years but when the Vet mentioned he was 10, it made me wonder where the years went. However, they couldn't have been better.

That pad in SD seems pretty tempting.
I haven't hunted out there since I was a kid.

I will be just west of the NoDak-SoDak border around that time. I would probably be able to make a few day hunts. Always good to have some folks to help tire out a GSP.

I've got a 870 with a plywood stock that's a killing machine.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I'd like to stay in the loop with this especially if it take this Hole-in-the-Wall gang to SD. I'm only 2-4 hours away and have to add that if you havent seen the pheasant action in Dakota South in some time, the Good Old Times may be there again. At least in some parts.
Amazing. And you don't need a 45/70.
Edit: some buds and I took 92 birds in a couple of days last Nov with blue-bird days and almost non-stop cackling. 'Course it could also be ten degrees with snow going side-ways that time of the year.

Keep me posted. My fat dogs and their fat hunter need to get onto birds. Our prolonged drought has the chuckar and quail way down. I'll hunt anything upland and love pheasant and huns. I'm a frustrated sharptail hunter and need my cherry busted.

I'd be interested in a pheasant hunt in either ND or SD if that works out.
