Grouse, Partridge, Pheasant in Montana? - 08/26/13 06:07 PM
I'm heading to Southeastern Montana in late October to hunt mule deer. The upland bird seasons will be open as well. I would like to hunt some if I fill my deer tag early in the trip. Has anyone hunted there before? Can it be done without a dog? The only birds I've hunted are ducks, geese, and doves so I'm not sure what to expect. I think there will be plenty of public lands to hunt. I will call the region 7 biologist and see what he has to say about the populations in the area. I sure would like to take a few birds as an added bonus to the trip but the first priority will be shooting a mule deer. Thanks for any tips or advice.
