All You Survey …
Do you dream of living on and hunting your own land? One couple purchased their dream, and learned a few things along the way they'd like to share.
As Ageless As the Plains
While the golden age of upland hunting may be a distant memory, the traditions born 50 years ago are still alive, and there is still plenty of great bird hunting to be found.
Bird Hunting for Big Game
Pursuit of any number of Western bird species just may lead to the buck or bull of your dreams.
Sage Grouse Live!
Sage grouse, prairie chickens and sharptails have disappeared from parts of our country where they were once common. But proper management can restore these tall-grass species, if hunter-conservationists do their part. Here’s how to hunt the strongholds where they remain—and become inspired about the revival of our native gamebirds.
How to Tap Into Private Lands for Public Hunting
Need a place to hunt? Don’t overlook the increasing number of states now offering private-land-access programs for hunters.
Go West for Early Birds and Lots of ’Em
They say the early bird gets the worm, but the early hunter gets the bird. Lots of birds, especially out West where seasons open as early as late August.
Pointing Out a Good Bird Dog
If you love to hunt upland birds like pheasants, grouse and quail, there are some dogs that could give you a few pointers—quite a few.
Flush to Retrieve
There are certain dog trainers who discourage their retrievers from flushing birds. That sounds like the waste of good potential to Ron Spomer.
Western Bird Bonanza
You, your friends and dogs can park the truck, lace up your boots and walk an upland hunter's dream. Just go west.
