First off i live in New Mexico and my family and i are set on planning a vacation next year on a out of state to upland hunt on public lands in another state??? I just dont know where to go i would like to hunt huns or chukar maybe even mountain quail does anybody have any ideas? I would be the only one hunting most likely and i have my own black lab. The reason i ask is cause i have never hunted out of state so where do i start? Thanks DwainV

Depends....
How much do you like driving? If you hit California you could get on BLM land for California Quail and Chukar, then head north to the Sierras for Mountain quail. I know there are pheasants in California but if you can find any on public land I couldn't tell you. The California regional forum could help with more specifics.
If you're set on huns you're looking mostly at northern prairies. Montana, North Dakota, or Canada.

Chukar is a rough venture anywhere. In California you could have a decent shot at a wild pheasant, outstanding Ca quail and a good mountain quail hunting in relatively close proximity. If you're set on mountain quail California is your best option. If not I would head up to Montana for a mixed bag or Utah or Nevada for chukar.

First suggestion would be the Big Island of Hawaii. It's loaded with pheasant and other upland birds. Plus as a vacation spot everyone is going to enjoy it.
Perhaps Montana. Lot's of places to hunt and a varied list of upland birds.
