Choosing the Best Length Barrel for Pheasant Hunting

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/07/17

To back up a little, a query for the perfect barrel length for ring-necked pheasant shares the same answer as a similar question, “What is the best shotgun for (insert upland bird here)?” The answer to both is simple – whatever shotgun you shoot the most and shoot best, which in an ideal world would be one and the same. Nearly any shotgun will do the job, but none will do it as well as the gun you know and shoot well. Read more at projectupland.com.

Gordon Setter - Breed History, Standards and Hunting Dog

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/07/15

Dogs with black-and-tan and black-white-and-tan coats predate the various setter breeds. They occurred in the root stock of dogs imported from the continent that gave rise to the setters, so naturally they would appear from time to time as British breeders developed various strains of setters. At some point in the late 1700s and early 1800s some breeders began to select dogs specifically for a black-and-tan coat. Use code PU20 and get 20% off onxhunt.com. Read more at projectupland.com.

NAVHDA Natural Ability Test - A Complete Overview

2020/07/13

Often when purchasing a pup from a breeder within the contract is a list of commitments the owner is agreeing to. These can range anywhere from what kind of fencing used at your home to completing hunt tests. If your pup came from a North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) breeder, chances are good you’re asked to run your dog in a Natural Ability Test. Read more at projectupland.com.

How To Plug a Shotgun in the Field and at Home

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/07/10

Forgetting to replace the plug is a dilemma many hunters face after a long off-season of upland hunting where there are no restrictions to the use of a plug. Well, almost. Upland hunting has a weird way of throwing bird hunters a curve ball when it comes to hunting those species on the fringe. For waterfowling it’s a given. And we all know dove hunting requires a plug, but so does snipe, rail, sora, and yes, even woodcock. These are all classified as migratory birds and under federal law it...

Scouting Upland Birds Using Trail Cameras

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/07/09

The idea of scouting with modern game cameras started one fall during college when an unexpected event triggered a need for a change of tactics. Earlier that same year, a heavy hailstorm had ravaged our prime opening morning pheasant field. The thick golden CRP grasses we were accustomed to hunting had been mowed to golf-course height by the storm. As we walked the field opening morning later that fall, there was no cover in sight, and the grim discovery of scattered feathers was all that rem...

How Much Does it Cost to Have a Hunting Dog?

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/07/03

To break down the cost of a hunting dog, for the sake of discussion, let’s assume a scenario with a single dog living in a household as part of the family and hunting regularly throughout the season. Our sample dog, “Cash,” will live for twelve years and be mostly healthy over the course of his lifespan. This is of course a generic picture for the purposes of estimates – please pardon the many assumptions made. Read more at projectupland.com.

“What do you have in a good, used, lightweight, nice shotgun for quail?” If I heard that question from a customer once I heard it a thousand times over the four years I worked in a gun shop during college. The follow-up was usually more of a statement than a question and it went something like, “ . . . and cheap.” Read more at projectupland.com.

The Evolution of Whoa Training Bird Dogs

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/06/24

Whoa has not always been an important part of training, but a quick historical peek at how bird dogs developed helps give it perspective. As far back as the 16th century, we as hunters have been teaching dogs to whoa to signal the presence of game. Dogs were trained to circle, point, or circle and point game. For dogs required to hold point they were taught whoa. Dogs had to be well trained as hunters used crossbows prior to the invention of the shotgun. Read more at projectupland.com.

Hunting Ruffed Grouse in Alaska

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/06/23

Autumn has long passed in Alaska. Like many upland hunters, I live for the golden leaves and crisp air of fall and mourn its passing as the snow and cold usher in winter's edict that yet another season has passed. Depending on where you live, fall could spark a plethora of potential upland pursuits, but for me the crisp fall air means it’s grouse season above all things. Read more at projectupland.com.

2020/06/20

When I cross a border, knock on a farmer’s door, visit a gun shop or meet another hunter in the field, I feel no angst. Because as a white man, I’m exempt. My gender and skin colour give me an exemption from the anxieties that people of colour deal with every day. They immunize me to the effects of a virus that infects much of our world, the virus of discrimination. But my nephew’s not exempt. He’s not immune. Because his skin is of a different colour.

The heath hen was yet another member of the grouse family. But sadly, this grouse was last seen in this world back in the 1930s.

One of the most interesting - and frustrating - challenges I faced when writing my book Pointing Dogs Volume One: The Continentals was trying to come up with a reasonably accurate profile of the wirehaired pointing griffon. Despite the fact that the sporting literature from the late 19th century contains a wealth of information on the breed and that a good number of books have been written about it since then, I had a hard time coming up with a coherent summary of the breed's development and...

2020/06/09

In North America, despite a very early start—the first wirehaired pointing griffon arrived in the United States in 1887—the breed has always played a minor role on the gun dog scene. Unlike the Brittany and the German shorthaired pointer (which coincidentally were promoted by some of the same individuals who imported some of the first wirehaired pointing griffons) the griffon never really caught the attention of mainstream hunters and field trialers in the United States or Canada.

The Etymology of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/06/01

The word griffon (or griffin) can be traced back to the Greek and Latin roots meaning “hook” or “claw” or even “hawk” ( i.e., a bird with claws). Long ago, it was the name of a mythical beast with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion—with clawed feet, of course. Read more at projectupland.com.

Beretta A400 Upland - Shotgun Review

2020/05/27

Using a new shotgun is always an exciting feeling but also somewhat unsettling when putting ol’ reliable aside. For over a decade, I have been chasing chukar with a 12-gauge Benelli M2 semi-auto with a black synthetic stock that has taken a beating over the years. Prior to that, I used a 20-gauge Benelli Nova pump that I won with a few lucky numbers being called out at a Nevada Bighorns Unlimited dinner in the mid-2000s, and before that I used a Remington 870 pump--all of which have ea...

The Development of the American Pointer

projectupland.com On The Go ·

2020/05/25

The pointer itself is not coincidental, but rather the result of strategic breeding in an effort to accomplish a particular set of goals: to defeat the English setter in the field trials of America and to create a dog that could effectively cover the wider expanses of terrain and handle all forms of the native birds of the American continent. The earliest importations of pointer blood were not adequate to suit the environmental conditions of the American continent. The dogs were to...

What do you see when you look into the eyes of a hunting puppy? Aside from the looming weeks of house training, teething, laundry, midnight trips to the yard, chewed shoes, and coming to terms with your own temper . . . there’s also raw potential. There is hope for a decade or more of hunting trips, brag-worthy bird finds, staunch points, and epic retrieves that you’ll remember for a lifetime. The trick is how to harness all of that potential and turn it into the hunting partner of your dream...
