Montana Bird Hunting
Just returned to Arizona from week bird hunting in the Lewistown, Geraldine, Coffee Creek and Denton, Montana areas. Excellent pheasant hunting and limited 4 of 5 days as high winds on Friday made bird hunting every unpleasant. Good pheasant population, sharptail numbers were ok but scattered and located 5 huns coveys in a week and couldn't bring myself to shoot any because of their poor numbers.
My American Brittany is in her prime ( 5 years old) and she put on a upland game dog clinic. Brother had is mature Braque France and his new 13 week Braque puppy and she showed signs of a future bird dog.
Shot my 1914 Fox 12 gauge with RST number 7s because of great dog work Wednesday three shots and three pheasants with last two as a double.
Already planning my 2020 trip.
However will be in the same area fly fishing in June for two weeks.
