    Montana Chukar

    The regs narrow down what county they are primarily found in, they like steep stuff.

    Upland GoBox

    If you’re eyeing the Yeti Gobox 30, try this. Just got a few from Costco and they have impressed me so far. I think they are a great option for organization. I heard they are $50 in store. $60 was the shipped Costco member price...

    2 Week Upland Trip

    I love all the replies so thank you everyone. Due to the feedback about running two weeks with a setter I did decide to cut back and do a couple different trips for a week each but with two travel days so more like 5 days with a rest day breaking it down to 2/1/2. So far the trips I’m...

    2 Week Upland Trip

    Ah, thanks for linking that. Seems similar to ND except it looks like ND you can just buy another two weeks after. I’d be interested to hear how this affects pressure I’m fortunate enough to have Blues damn near out my back door, so those will certainly be a “you have two hours to slip a hunt...

    2 Week Upland Trip

    I spent an okay amount of time in Eastern MT in college so that does seem like a pretty good idea. Avoiding general rifle would mean going early or late though. I’m curious how the birds hold late as that’s definitely an easier time to take off for me. lucky enough though, it’s less than a days...

    2 Week Upland Trip

    English Setter, he isn’t the biggest runner in the world only about 100-150 right now, but he also doesn’t mind going through fairly thick cover like cattails

    2 Week Upland Trip

    Figured I would ask this fresh off the 2022/2023 season since I’m sure some of you all had some pretty cool trips that you took. If you had two weeks the chase upland birds, whats the plan? What state(s) are you headed to, when and what species are you chasing? If you had 3 weeks instead of 2...

    Pigeons for Dog Training

    I’m in the Buffalo/Sheridan area. I’ll have to look into those foot traps. I did find a couple silos that had pigeons around them. I’ll have to build a coop for them but it should be easy enough to extend off an existing chicken coop. Billings would definitely be one of the closest NAVDHA...

    Pigeons for Dog Training

    So I am about 150 pages in scanning the game code for Wyoming and am finding nothing concerning training seasons. I will ask the local game warden and report back. I guess to clarify, he has been on wild birds before, this is more to keep him sharp in the summer when my time is limited and the...

    Pigeons for Dog Training

    That’s a great idea. I might just have to take a drive this weekend and see if I can spot any at any of the rail depots around here. I’ll have to look into the “game bird farm licenses here” There are wild game birds around like sharpies and blues but I cannot run the dogs on them when the...

    Pigeons for Dog Training

    So I am wondering how you all find a source of pigeons if you don’t have the ability to trap them yourselves? Is it just a matter of networking more? I have my first dog, a 1.5y/o setter that could definitely use whatever tools I can get him. Located in North Central WY and it’s been a struggle...

    Kuiu Proximity Review

    Cuffs are definitely tight enough I cannot check my watch easily when wearing it. I have pretty average M/L sized hands. As far as my end of season follow up. I used these in Wyoming and the Upper Peninsula. In the UP I had temps in the teens with winds in the 30s. I was able to sit still for...

    Kuiu Proximity Review

    Continuing this, we had a pretty great cold front come through last night dropping the temps from highs in the mid 60s to high 20s today. So I sat tonight with it on. I wore the set with a pair of jogger sweatpants underneath, and just a long sleeve thermal for the top. It was right at 18-20°...

    Kuiu Proximity Review

    Well we had 40+mph winds all night and a colder morning. This morning the temp was 30-35° with light winds. Tried a saddle for the first time and it really goes nicely over the proximity pants, the leg straps tucked up high enough that I could still get in the zippers no problem. I was...
