Great series great dog work I always enjoy your videos. I’m 71 and it’s really nice to see young men with a passion for upland hunting that’s so down to earth. Your videos have really got my blood pumping for this up coming season. Looking forward to your next one.

Thanks dude!

[@WilliamL.-ls8qc]

I am curious as to the choke and shot size that you use for each species? Thanks

[@h2oburke]

Just a heads up in AZ only 3 rounds are aloud and shooting ducks you need lead free shells. Reference R12-4-304 Section C#3 ii.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for the comment! The plug is only needed for ducks and migratory birds. I shot and carried steel throughout the entire trip.

[@h2oburke]

I re-read the regs and you sir are 100% correct. Good on you and I learned something new! Looks like it’s Crow for dinner, no Turkey for me. Well, thank you and Happy Thanksgiving! Beautiful dogs btw!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

@@h2oburke thank you! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family as well. And good luck the rest of season!

Good work, tough country on hunters, dogs and gear but you guys put the effort in and were rewarded Thanks for hauling out the rubbish.😀😀

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Absolutely! Thanks for following along.

Really enjoy your hunts, I’m looking forward to next season. Definitely very informative but would like to know where you’re hunting. Arizona is a big state

[@jaredquade3960]

Loved this series, appreciate you putting out these videos! I bet you’ll be going back to hunt Arizona again here in future!!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Awesome to hear man - thanks for following along! Definitely will be back 👍

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks Scott! Looks you had a great trip down in AZ as well.

[@onlyinmaine3290]

I lived in oracle for 10 years ,guided quail hunting for 9 . I noticed that your gun was loaded with 5 rounds. In Az three shells is the max on shells . waterfowl is also only three as per fed regs, as well as no tox shot. Do not get caught, Az game and fish are brutal on offenders, especially out of state hunters.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Plugged guns only apply to waterfowl, not small game/upland birds. Per page 61 of AZ hunting digest, R12-4-301 and R12-4-304. Legal to hunt with up to 5 in the tube +1 in the chamber. Thanks.

[@onlyinmaine3290]

@@UplanderLifestyle are doves small game ?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

@@onlyinmaine3290 doves are a migratory bird, so if you were actively hunting them, yeah you’d need a plug. But the season closes at the end of the year and this was well past dove season and into the new year.

One of the better filmed hunts I’ve watched. All public land?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks mark! Yes all public accessible land.

[@markphinney3152]

Great series - I enjoyed them all. I hope to get down there next winter & chase quail. Was that a bobcat you dispatched at the end?! 😯

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Awesome, if you can make the trip do it. It was a Grey Fox at the end, and lucky for the fox I missed.

[@bruceking2574]

This was great. I have hunted for years for gambles. Great bird and beautiful. Only suggestion is find a good cameraman. Head mount it cool but lagging. Thanks for the video.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks a lot for following along Bruce!

[@dennisfournier3804]

I'm assuming the stock tanks are mapped out on Arizona regional hunting maps?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Honestly couldn't tell you 100% if there is a specific map that has tanks marked. We use OnX, and although the tanks themselves aren't marked, they're pretty easy to spot and pick out when going over the map and eScouting.

[@dennisfournier3804]

@@UplanderLifestyle Thanks for the info.

[@NickDrinksWater]

What I wanna know is other than some good home cookin, what do you do with all the kills?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

That pretty much sums it up, make some good eats out of the birds 👍🏻 Sometimes we'll save a few feathers or tailfans for memories.

[@dionbrandt6176]

Well it’s not chucker hunting , a lot harder than pheasant hunting

[@MountainMace]

Was this in southern AZ near Tucson? And what brand are your shotguns?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

The Side by Side is a Stoeger Uplander and the Auto Loader is a Weatherby Element Deluxe

[@nicmac3347]

Great video guys! Are you allowed more than 3 shells to hunt quail in Arizona?! That would be bad ass!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks man, gun only needs to be plugged when it comes to migratory birds.

[@bruceking2574]

@@UplanderLifestyle I have hunted in AZ for 30 years and never knew this. Always had my Remington 1100 S.F. plugged. DANG!!

[@zinger55731]

Did the dogs get used to the cactus pretty quick? How bout booties, gave to use them?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Dogs threw caution to the wind and ran through cactus like it wasn't even there. As far as having to boot the dogs, I'd feel more comfortable not booting them if I was continuously running dogs in that country and their feet were conditioned to it. Some people we had seen online, their dog's pads were ruined in one day from running in that country because they didn't boot them. It just wasn't worth the risk to not boot the dogs and loose the dog power. I didn't boot dogs every spot, if it was softer soil and not as many rocks I didn't boot them. The rocks were my main concern when it came to booting the dogs. Cactus, thorns that kind of stuff didn't bother me, thorns can be pulled out. A ripped pad from rocks puts a dog on the sidelines pretty fast.

[@zinger55731]

@@UplanderLifestyle yeah that sounds sensible. I run into some cactus in Mt has never slowed anyone down. Thx

@@UplanderLifestyle how long does it usually take for a finished dog

[@UplanderLifestyle]

@@Okay17282 Depends on what you want out of your dog. By age 2-3 a dog should be broke enough to hunt and seen enough wild birds to be able to work them well.

[@Okay17282]

@@UplanderLifestyle ok, I go to a bird dog training place where I train my Brittany and it’s kinda hard to tell for your dog when you see these 10 month olds or year olds gsp super stars lol 😂

[@opie1knobeusmc]

The illegals that cross the border tie carpet to their shoes to hide the tracks. You've really got some awesome dogs. Much respect for the training that gets them to that level.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Appreciate that - and thanks for following along!

[@johnshoureas1629]

Love the videos, just remember when you yell at your dog to fetch, it becomes very loud to the viewers. Beginners to shooting and upland hunting are always interested in what guns you're using.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along and the comment John! The gun in this vid is a Weatherby Element Deluxe, 12 gauge.
