N/E Montana has Huns, pretty jumpy little pricks if ya ask me . We hunted out there the past 2 years for pheasants, about the time frame your going. we’d put up a covey or 2 just about every day hunting the coolys between wheat fields while we were there. They always flush 50 to 60yds out, have yet to kill one, and this is on private land. I guess if it was a bucket list bird I’d be there when the season opens in sept. Only problem with that in my eyes would be the possibility of the dog running across a dam snake, with fangs. OR find someone to load you up some 3 or 3 1/2 inch shells with as much shot and buffer that it will hold and screw a Muller UFO choke in the barrel, because the little pricks have noe problem flying between the #5 and 6’s I’ve been throwing at them
