Where you from and favorite birds?

[RSather528]

Minnesota. Any game bird that I have decent public access to I am always up put in some time for be it ducks, pheasants, or turkeys.

 

[Antares]

More snipe. Love em.

 

[Tex68w]

South Texas, nothing beats wild Bob's IMHO, but I love them all.

 

[Tobey]

New Mexico, scaled quail. Love chasing the blues

 

[TThomson5]

California-quail, pheasants, chukar, and ducks!!

 

[David Gough]

Northern Nevada - waterfowl. Greenheads trip my trigger, but swans and bull sprigs are a close second.










I jump the border and hunt California when the opportunity arises.

Just wrapped my first full season behind a pointing dog here in Central Oregon, and I'm certain that I'll never go back as long as I can stand on my own two feet. We chase ducks pretty regularly, but start the season with pheasants and grouse and moved on to Chucks & huns. I have yet to experience anything quite so gratifying as shooting partridge pointed on public land.

Fairly new bird hunter in AK. My favorite is chasing ptarmigan in the alpine. Moving through this terrain just makes me happy.

There is a dog on point out in those boulders.














But, I'm coming around to watefowl hunting too.

SoCal - Dove and Quail. Some Duck.

Just wish they'd let us take Quail with rifle though. I'd clean house w/ .17 HMR at this one spot.

Been kinda diggin on getting into and learning how to do Ducks too!
Went with the boy this last time to Wister.
Kinda neat we're starting to have shared hunt memories now.

 

[Wilderness Spirit]

Hunting stocked pheasants the last couple of years here in PA. The grouse population has been low the last couple years.

I'm from FL originally so I grew up hunting bobwhites and will always have a nostalgic soft spot for them, especially the little dark ones we used to have in the southern part of the state. I've been in NY for 20 years though so all we have here is grouse and woodcock for upland birds. Not my favorite but still lots of fun and woodcock are especially good for training a young pointing dog, in my opinion. Catching the woodcock flight just right is one of the more magical experiences I've had hunting. I love turkey season too but if I could only pick one hunt to do for the rest of my life it would be sharptails on the prairie with my German Wirehair and a 16ga SxS. Looks like I'll have a new Wirehair pup to train this year so my new favorite bird will be whatever she points.

[North Woods]

From Maine, living in Utah. My favorite birds to hunt are upland birds. I found spot out here in Utah that has produced forest grouse every time I go into it. It's about a 4 mile hike to get into the area, but it's so worth it. It's a plateau on the side of a mountain at about 8k feet ASL and overlooking a lake. I'll have to dig some pics up and post them. I usually see about a dozen birds when I go in there. To ME, that's pretty damn good.

Back home in Maine I really enjoyed turkey hunting.

 

[RichP]

Geese, ducks and pheasant
Pretty much any type of bird hunting involving my dogs!

 

[krimmie]

South Florida, ducks primarily, but we try and get a few days in of snipe and dove.
