Upland Bird Dogs

Work Your Own Upland Bird Dogs On Natural Habitat, true do it yourself hunts.

When it comes to upland bird dogs and MAHA it is about hunting upland birds with the hunter's own upland bird dogs. No training services, dog equipment, breeders or field trials, just hunting upland bird dogs on pheasant, quail and prairie chicken. No discussions on which bird dog is best. No advice how to hunt or dog training. Just guidance on where to hunt bird dogs on bobwhites, ringnecks or prairie chickens without being guided on the ground. Other recommendations are offered strictly as information from the MAHA staff that hunts their own upland bird dogs in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa as well as several other states over the years.

Water such as this is not always available. All hunters should expect to carry water. We carry 4 liters each time stepping from the truck.

You will see this theme several times in this web site. That is, November is a warm month that will stress dogs. Those with hot weather running dogs will not be phased. Those of us with cold weather ones will take a break at every water hole.

The point is if traveling to the mid west to hunt make the most of every moment, every hour, every day. The colder the weather the stronger the scent cone and the better the dog work. Choose to hunt when the dogs will give the most enjoyment. In this Association it is the hunter's choice when to hunt during the season. Hunters may hunt all of each season or select when to hunt.

My wall pictures and album pictures mean more to me over the years than any bird hunt.

One aspect that is truly enjoyable making for a great day in the field is the ability to hunt without the necessity of always watching a compass or carrying a GPS. This may seem like a small thing of little consequence. For those that have hunted the Minnesota, Michigan or New England states where the trees block all landmarks and all trees look the same hunting the central mid-west will certainly be a relaxing walk. In this part of the country each hunter can see a long ways, where he started from, where he is going and how to get back. No need for compass or GPS.

Mixed bag hunts every trip.

The problem with Missouri pheasant hunting is that quail always get in the way.

We place this wealth of photos on our web site as evidence of the quality hunting to be found on our properties. Compare this site to others anyone may find on the internet and all will quickly identify ours as unique.
