Upland Idaho 2019

Reflecting on my annual 10 day trip to Idaho...lots of birds this year. We hunted sharpies, Huns, chukars, blue and ruffed grouse and valley quail. Found plenty of all species and the weather was perfect. Great time of year to be out in the uplands with the bird dogs. Here’s a few photos from my trip.

Wow! Beautiful country! Beautiful dogs! Wild birds and American doubles! Doesn’t get any better than this! Always look forward to Shawn’s autumn reports!

Beautiful country and great pics that leave me yearning to experience that part of this great country we live in. I will mark my vacation schedule accordingly for next fall in anticipation of your PM, just sayin

Safe travels.

thanks for sharing. great pics. A friend whose son lives in Idaho got back from a grouse hunt . Lots of fun but said if you are on Medicare you are to old to start grouse hunting.

Idaho is a well kept secret. We see lots of ruffies and this year there were loads of sharptails.

Um, Not if you keep yacking about it. Idaho is a very dangerous place. We got Sabre Tool Tigers, Water Moccasins, Pterodactyl, Great White river sharks, 90% Humidity, Hurricanes and Volcanos ready to erupt next week. This isn’t even the dangerous stuff. Stay home, save yourself!
