    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    That’s certainly the plus. Cooler temps maybe 10 days later. It would be nice to not get a sunburn!

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Nearly every state is looking to restrict non-residents in one way or another. I’m not sure what the long lasting impacts are other than fewer days to hunt. If there is one part of this I do not like it’s the demonizing of NRs. It’s hard to fault anyone for trying to enjoy an activity they...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    From my NR, dog breeder, dog training perspective these are all fair proposals. I think SB 514 and HB 450 are both positives for upland hunting. I'm more than happy to give NRs a shot at the first 10 days without me being around. I'm the guy that shows up with big a truck and dog trailer...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. I don’t ever really target pheasants. I guess I didn’t realize pheasant hunting was so popular in MT.

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Man I don’t know where I go but it must be the wrong spot. I spend a lot of time in Region 6 the first week or second week of season typically and yeah I see a few hunters but nothing like is being described here. I think last year was the first time I arrived at a spot on state ground I...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Great discussion. Appreciate the different perspectives. I’ve always said it’s a really good thing birds don’t have antlers. Bird hunters are so cordial. Not that I don’t kill antlered stuff! I’m not a dog trainer, but I do run 7 dogs. I just like hunting dogs. I started going to MT from KS...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I'm torn whether this is good or bad. I do get it. Crummy NRs like me bringing 5-6 dogs and stomping around pushing out residents with no dog or maybe one dog, basically ruining opportunity for residents during what many consider the best part of the season. On the other hand there are 30...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Ok. Now this is Senate Bill 514. It has passed the Senate and now moves to the House for consideration. It essentially directs FWP to allow residents to hunt 10-days sooner than non-residents on publicly accessible lands.

    Upland Carryover in KS

    We have a had lots of cold and snow the past two months in KS. I'm curious what kind of damage this will do to Carryover into Spring nesting season. Anywhere I hunted since the first big snow in January I drove to get out of the snow. Curious if anyone is seeing quail running around where the...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I'm not a Montanan but I spend some time there each fall. I follow our own legislative activities in my own state, but don't fully understand the process in Montana. LC3901 pushes the NR opening day back 10-days for all upland species with the exception of mountain grouse. What is an LC bill...

    Saskatchewan Upland Hunting

    Is the opportunity missing because there is no access or because there are only limited birds? I should mention, I won’t pay trespass fees…it’s just a personal thing.

    Saskatchewan Upland Hunting

    Has anybody here hunted upland in Saskatchewan, specifically southern Saskatchewan? It looks good (habitat) but I don’t know how good the access is.

    Anyone hunt upland birds with a backpack?

    Sometimes I hunt with a pack. Particularly to carry water.
