Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Mule Deer- If You Were Looking at Bird Dogs?

Mule Deer, here is the best list I can create of Montana's available upland bird species:

1. Sage grouse
2. Sharp-tailed grouse
3. Spruce grouse
4. Dusky grouse
5. Spruce grouse
6. Ruffed grouse
7. Gray partridge
8. Merriam turkey
9. Ring-neck pheasant
10. Chukar partridge
11. Valley quail

You are correct... almost a dozen species!

As far as the OP's original question, I've had labs, GSPs and English setters for upland hunting. With two middle aged dogs now, I probably only have two more puppies left in my upland career, and one of them (maybe both) will be a GSP.
