Changes to MT Upland Season - Resident Priority Takes Effect This Year
More than a few of the dog pros are training field trial strings. They have limited interest in killing very many birds. The birds are worth more to them to finish a dog's manners around birds. The draw is young sharptails. They are an ideal bird to finish a pointing dog's training. They hold... -
The Great HT 2026 weigh in.
I'm down 10 pounds over the summer. Mostly from walking the new dog and sand volleyball league. Need to add some step/elevation training before Wyoming trip in November. Would like to drop another ten pounds by then as well.- Bowmannate2000

The bird training license was a part of the effort as well. The issue was trainers showing up before the Sept. 1st opener. Having the season in place manages that. And yes, I would expect to see that the next iteration of the bird dog training season will be a bit more stringent than this year... -

Regarding the dog training season. The restrictions apply to public land. The rub, I think, was a result of non resident dog trainers using state land concentrated in an area on the high line. I've been an avid amateur pointing dog field trial participant for a long time now. That means I have... -

You're right, the birds can take care of themselves at this point. I hope your pup does well, and gets as many bird contacts as you can get. Hard to not smile at young dogs working well. I have no ill feelings towards any of the regs, just got a laugh out of the fact that one of the biggest... -

Going back in time, residents did get the first crack at pheasants, until motel and bar interests convince the legislature they were losing business. I think the issues are connected, but not entirely. The training issue, I think, came from a dog pro with a large string of dogs from a quail... -

Let's not make it too strict, I enjoy it up there. Some good sales going on right now! Just about time to test out these new toys that came in today; Okay, I've thrown enough fuel on this fire, let's get back talking about how easy it is to catch deers in R7. -

Pack workouts
I use a 40 lb bag of wood pellets for my Traeger. When I am done training in the fall, I use them. Dog food works well too, but if going in griz country I don't want to smell like a dog food bag. So wood pellets it is. Super easy and nothing to store.- MNElkNut

Did my dog get bit by a copperhead?
Interesting. My dog was bit by a rattler in west river sodak on a property thats known for them. The one year I gave any of our hunting dogs the first rattler vaccine, he got bit. Leg swelled up a bunch and he limped, vet said not to hunt him for the last 4 days of the trip. He howled and...- Moserkr

Preferred Upland Loads?
No cripples, no misses, just pillows. Opening day saw very close birds, and a new dog meant only choosing the right shots where the dog worked right. Which means ranges which the 7.5 was very effective. And 7.5 is closer in size to a 6 than an 8. It’s not my preferred, but it did work.- R.K.

It's unfortunate for sure, the digital age content probably has something to do with the influx. We also need to put it in perspective, even with bird density not reflecting the past, it's still far better than most places where the normal person can access. Its a good gesture and a move in... -

Did my dog get bit by a copperhead?
I’ve seen the rattlesnake prevention training. I’m not interested in abusing my dogs that way for the results. My dogs aren’t that tough. I’ve never bounced into rattlers with my bird dogs hunting. I try to hunt smart during hot periods. My understanding after talking with my birddog...- brymoore

Never been part of field trials do they shoot when the bird flushes? Because there was plenty of gunshots throughout the day. It’s half a mile from our house so I heard plenty of them -

If this was during hunting season, what is unknown is how many birds did they kill. My guess, if they were field trialers, they did not kill very many. Back in the day, I killed over a hundred birds a year, year after year. We ate a lot of sharptails to stay legal. In the last dozen years... -

I've been working on his whoa training, it's going well I think. He's now starting to anticipate the command while casting, so I've laid off and whoa him at random times. He's now to a point where I can whoa him, and toss pigeons point blank with no movement. He's shaking like a leaf and wants...- JLDemo

Creature of habit…
Wife was out at a dog training class and stopped on the way home for a coffee to stay awake. She ended up getting a cappuccino and when she got home she proceeded to wake me up. I didn't mind. ;)- Dave N

I think that's correct. Dug around a bit on the statute and the season is set through commission rule. Since that season date was established in 2025, and the 10 day resident priority season wasn't going into effect until 26, I'm assuming the commission didn't amend the NR Training opener but... -

I think that would be great for residents and meet the intent of the idea, however, I highly doubt the commission didn't already have knowledge of this issue. Maybe I'm a pessimist, but I'm seeing this oversight as known and the smoke and mirrors was intentional. I'm only one person (disgusting...
