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 to UPH, You've come to the right sight. Lots of good people and advise , just ask away.:)
 
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
