Wow, they are still shallow, that is a really nice perch. Always wanted to try eastern MT in Sept. for fishing
What are your 2026 Outdoor Plans
- Thread starter Birdbander
- Start date
Long-time lurker here finally chiming in. Plans for 2026 are pretty modest: bouncing some applications around the West to keep points building, a DIY public-land trip in the fall depending on which way the draws fall, and a lot of summer scouting weekends I keep promising myself I’ll actually take. Enjoying reading what everyone else has lined up — some of these slates are absurd in the best way.
Struck out in NM and KS. We'll see what the Wyo draw brings, if anything. My sons first year eligible for the draw and big game, so we're hopeful he draws something. He really wants to make an early season antelope, sage grouse, fishing trip. We've done something like that since he was four, and loves it.
Either way, birds are going to be a major target. Moisture will play a major role where I go, but Chukar out west and quail down south are a go! Ready to see some new country, and good dog work!

Plans have changed significantly.
Have 2 moose hunts in Montana in October, one with a good friend, followed by one with my Brother. My nephew also drew a MT breaks rifle bull tag and another good friend scored a real nice bull elk tag in Wyoming. A couple friends drew cow tags in Wyoming.
Most likely will have my Dad and Nephew hunting pronghorn here and 2 friends following that.
Sept. 18-November is packed...don't see many days of not hunting something in that time frame. December is even starting to get crowded.
