Lots of space in the northern plains but when a place gets on tv and in the magazines , it's not long before it's over run. What discourages me about Lewistown is the bird dog trials they hold on sharptails and huns in the area. Lots of people with 10 to 20 dogs that they run and move all the birds out then many stay for the start of bird season then kill the birds .

You see full dog and horse trailers from Georgia, Tennesee, Kentucky from the big kennel breeders. Maybe they don't have birds left down there.

I've been to too many places that used to hold birds and then find they have been flushed out or shot out. I have two bird dogs and several walking hunters with me. We may have 3 or 4 dogs down at any one time. I can't match controlling 10 dogs by horseback out on a half section field and scouring every bird in the area. That's why I've moved on.

Nothing wrong per se with bird dog trials but when you run them on wild birds then stay to kill every bird you find with full kennels of dogs, that's neither for me, not my kind of hunting , and I don't want to be around it.
