It Finally Cooled Down and The Dogs are on Fire!

The action is heating up on the prairie! With cooler temps arriving, its presents more opportunities to run dogs throughout the day and find more birds! The dogs are looking great and we manage to get into large coveys of huns and sharptail grouse.

Excellent dog work, especially enjoyed your pups war cry chasing that rooster!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you! Aspen leaves it all on the field.

[@brittlanders351]

When I was young, me and my dad ran pointers on quail down in central Texas. I miss watching the dogs work and carrying a scatter gun. This video was therapy form me

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Appreciate the comment and following along man!

[@sarahmarchetti8270]

Love Brittany's the way they work I use them he in Australia 🇦🇺 to hunt quail

[@TannerEly]

Yeti's track was fantastic! That dogs objective was not out to flush birds. He was methodically tracking bird scent. The fact that you were on the wrong side of the wind and he bumped them imo isn't any wrong doing on the dog or your part. Watching him track that tight on scent going down wind was very impressive.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Right there with ya man! Thanks a lot 👍🏻

[@Allirys]

So satisfying to see you on the prairie and Yetis track. Really good content. Thanks!

[@trapperraptor7356]

As another Britt fanatic love your work,,,,from Scottland,,,,,,,

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along, it’s great to hear from you - cheers!

[@theuplandsasquatch]

As a Britt guy, I highly approve! I love Yeti's mohawk, it adds so much personality! And Aspen yelling at that rooster as it flew away made me smile. I love it when the dogs show us how much they love it. Do you ever hunt more than one dog at a time? Im bringing a new pup on to my channel, and I've got limited experience running 2 dogs at once. I'd be interested in your opinion/reasoning.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks a ton man! I do run two dogs from time to time, it may take them a run or two to settle in with each other. Like everything, it takes time and experience doing something. Two dogs running and learning to work together is no different, it’s going to take some time doing it. Don’t be put off if the first time or two feels more than hassle than it’s worth.

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

Great video man. Love your dog work and your calm demeanor with them. 25 days until I get out there (AL to ND/MT) myself. Can't wait!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you! Safe travels and good luck this year 👍🏻

It made my day watching your video! I’m was out working and picking up so many ticks on my legs that they looked like that poor sharpie’s neck. Nice work, you and the dogs.

Thanks Ron 👍🏻my skin crawls a little thinking about all those ticks 🤣

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Appreciate that Steve! Thanks for following along and good luck yourself out there 👍🏻

[@Nephi2006]

Long time bird hunter here with Brittanys , I think your hit percentage would go up if you hustled to the point a little faster and get yourself in position for a better shot. Great videos!

[@PonderosaSoundStudio]

Great videos and loving the dogs in action! One point I'd respectfully make (in the interests of your viewers' safety) - when you go to climb over a fence like that (at 27:40), very important to instead lay the firearm down on the ground, barrel pointed away from any position or angle you might experience while climbing over the fence, and the gun also placed a bit of distance away from where you opt to climb over the fence (so as not to accidentally fall on the gun). Certainly not a safe maneuver the way this video depicted it. Technically, you should also unload the weapon when doing the above procedure as well. I recognize that can be somewhat impractical, but I would sure as heck never try to climb over a fence holding a loaded weapon while hunting (notwithstanding that the safety was likely on).

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along 👍🏻

[@mikeformiglio1318]

You do such an amazing job filming these hunts my friend ! Great dog work and shooting . Can I come hunt with you one day when I head out west with my Brittany? Lol id love to pick your brain about my dog . Safe hunting , brother !

Those fences will cause havoc for sure. I continue to work with my dog to wait for me, beats a trip to the vet, they get enough of our money🤣

[@UplanderLifestyle]

There’s times where they make you pucker!

[@jesscobb2279]

You know you make me super jealous bro 😂. I would love to hit up those fields with you some day. Great shooting, your dog's rock it, and yes grouse n pheasant make great 🌮. I'm looking forward to watching your hunt of 2023. Maybe we will run into each other one day. God Bless!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks a lot! Good luck this season man!

[@jesscobb2279]

@@UplanderLifestyle U 2 brother. Unfortunately my uplander season won't be happening. Washington state has obliterated good hunting grounds by allowing the DNR to DeForest all my honey holes for grouse I'm not giving this state another dime by buying an over priced small game tag. Plus I'm off to Nigeria in October thru November to see my wife. I'll see you on KZbin. Thanks for the reply......Jess

These videos are giving me withdrawls.... I also carry a can of blu coat antiseptic spay in truck for those types of cuts.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Its definitely is something worth having 👍🏻

[@mikeformiglio1318]

Also, what state are you hunting in ? What's your favorite state for all around upland hunting. I'm thinking of going to Michigan and possibly South Dakota Next year.

[@LoganGarrett-i2i]

Which double gun you running? just was curious looks like a cz sharptail from other videos

[@UplanderLifestyle]

I’ve been shooting the Stoeger Uplander but just picked up the Weatherby Orion SXS.

[@douglee9434]

Watched your Arizona quail videos and noticed a couple times it looked like you had different kinds of ammo for each barrel. Different loads for different chokes or coincidence? If intentional do you do the same for other upland hunting?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

I do at times shoot different loads in the barrels. Usually it’s a 7.5 in the first, IC choke. 6 in the second, MOD choke.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you!

[@wessholders9699]

I don’t get to do much upland so a noob question here. What does wing washed mean?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

No worries man! It means the bird loses some of its scent when it takes flight. The theory is the wind and air washes away some of the fresh scent on the bird, and when they hit the ground they don’t have much scent to give off. Makes it a challenge sometimes to find small birds in thick cover.

[@Beowulf-sd5gh]

I love the dog work, but as a european I've got a stupid question: why do you shoot the hens but not the roosters? I've learned it the other way round.

[@callmecap1373]

He didn't shoot the rooster because pheasants aren't in season yet. The birds he is hunting rn are sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge, of which you can harvest either gender.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along! The birds I’m hunting are not pheasants. They are sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge. The Sharptails are similar in color to hen pheasants.

[@philipmorphew6301]

Look out for ticks on dogs!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

We haven’t come across many, normally don’t. But you will see a few on the birds from time to time!

Why always grouse

[@UplanderLifestyle]

It’s about the only thing open right now

[@steve734]

Many hunters are ill-prepared when it comes to a first aid kit for their dogs. I highly recommend that dog handlers have a multi tool on their belt whenever they're afield. There are snares that aren't picked up by trappers and you must have a means of cutting the snare should your dog have the misfortune of your dog running into one. I highly recommend that dog handlers become knowledgeable about how the various snares and conibear traps work by visiting a local business that sells trapping supplies. I once encountered a gentleman that had the horrible experience of his dog running into a 330 conibear which the gentleman did not know how to release and basically he had his beloved dog die a horrible death in his arms. Also, porcupines and skunks are commonly contacted and a faceful of porcupine quills is a very challenging and unfortunate occurrence and an assortment of forceps are indispensable for that task.

[@christianedlund3626]

Nice video! But why are you not learning the dogs to sit down when they flush the birds?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you! Usually only flushing dogs are taught to sit on the flush.

[@stevehugo3133]

I run Springer Spaniels which flush. I want my dogs to run under the flushed bird. The closer they are to the bird when it hits the ground the better. It improves your chances of getting any runners, especially in heavy cover. The trials guys like their dogs to sit on the flush I think.

[@richc4231]

I had to comment again just finished binge watching your videos for your hunting trip. I am now really fired up for the 2400 mile drive by myself to Montana next week! Jennie my 10-year-old Gwp and Katie my four month old Gwp will be cruising with me. Thanks again for sharing you do a great job with your videos.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Glad you enjoyed the videos! Good times ahead with your pups this season!

[@acesonflush346]

Montana I presume, one of my favorite states. Happy hunting and hopefully your dogs are smart about porcupines. Ive never not found them out hunting that way. Maybe its just the area I hunt though.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along 👍🏻 I’ve had 3 Porcupine run ins this year and last night had a dog get quiled. Will be on the next video. Good luck this season!
