Bit by the upland bug!

I've been hunting the better part of my 35 years with the last 8-10 focused on ducks and geese. Well, after completing force fetch with my young lab last year, a buddy of mine convinced me to take the pup to a pheasant preserve for a fun day of birds. That one trip eventually turned into 6 and we both got the bug. This all took place after last years season so no wild birds for us but we'll try to get into some this year.

I love training dogs but have never worked with the upland aspect before, just finding planted birds, so I'll be looking at the dog training section a good bit and asking some questions.

Good luck to everyone this coming season and Take Care,
 
Welcome fresh convert:cheers:I hope you find no cure:thumbsup:

Nice thing about upland hunting over some of the other stuff is that if you're not seeing any birds, you just walk a bit further. No sitting, waiting, hoping, sitting, waiting, hoping. It's more like driving, walking, hoping, driving, walking, hoping:rolleyes:

I can definitely see the upside to driving, walking, hoping rather than sitting, waiting, freezing:eek:, hoping! The other thing I liked was I could grab the dog, shells, and shotgun and I'm ready to go. Not like lugging 4 dozen full body decoys 350 yards into a field, needing to make 5 trips to get everything set up before first light (still love that too!).

Take Care,
 
Welcome to UPH, Very Good to have you here. I like upland birds over Ducks and Geese because it is so much warmer walking around than sitting still in a cold damp blind .......Bob
