why cant you shoot hens

[@UplanderLifestyle]

You can, they are legal to shoot. It came down to a personal choice for me. I shot a few but was trying to limit my take.

[@Mark.OnEarth]

Great video, keep going. I started my channel from scratch uploading what I enjoyed, and now I am almost at 10k subs.

[@dennisdrayna9383]

Gives the viewer a great feel for this kind of hunting.

[@scottinohio701]

THAT IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!!!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks Scott 👍🏻 always a great time following the dogs.

[@rossgrant1374]

What size ruffland kennels do you like for your Brittany's? And how do you like them? I am looking to get 2 for mine. Thanks!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

They are intermediate size, they work great for my setup. Thanks for following along man!

[@Rdixon921]

Wow beautiful land !!! Great hunt ! Do u have any game birds mounted ?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks man! No I do not, but I have an overwhelming pile of frozen birds in my freezer that need to eventually make their way to the taxidermist lol

[@Rdixon921]

@@UplanderLifestyle nice taxidermy bill gonna be pretty penny but worth it haha! But there so tasty u gotta eat em honestly makes it tough for mounting em

[@wymore73]

I really liked your video. Good looking pups, in a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Appreciate that John! Thanks for following along.

[@jesscobb2279]

Never hunted quail or chuckar. Hunted just about everything else. Looks kinda difficult, but super fun. Great hunt as always bro! God bless.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for watching! They live in some cool places that makes for a fun hunt.

[@ventureoutdoorswithkirk]

Yeah quail are fun!! Were you able to figure out any habitat tips for them??

[@azquailadventures]

Nice Hunt man! Dogs look like they did great! Amazing how the scenting can go from Hot to Dead in a few minutes down here.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you - Appreciate that man! Yes crazy how that works, definitely keeps things interesting!

[@RichardBlazek-q8r]

Great dog work, amazing scenery, and the Montezuma quail? The horizontal double gun is the cherry on top.

[@markphinney3152]

Very nice - I was just down in AZ hunting Mearn's last month... was fun to 're-live' the great time I had!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Sounds like you guys had a great trip Mark! Thanks for following along 👊🏻

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

Wow, what beautiful country! Mearns are definitely on my bucket list. Maybe 2025. Thanks for sharing these videos with us!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Yes it is! Than you 👊🏻

[@tkinsey472]

Great camera work Uplander! I really like how you slow each shot down so we can see what took place. Also, you have a steady, calm discussion with the viewers. Many of the other channels have men screaming and shouting at their dogs and hunting buddies.

[@timwagenmanuplandadventure8270]

Great video, beautiful scenery and gorgeous birds, doesn't get much better then that!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you Tim!

[@rinkleswhiskers15]

Thanks for posting your misses bro! Glad to know you’re human too, I feel every bit of that ‘dang it!’. Happens to me a lot more often lol

[@UplanderLifestyle]

It's all part of the fun! Thanks for watching 👍

[@Pointers_upland_life]

Thanks for Sharing. I can never get enough of Mearns Country.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Right there with you Doug! Thanks for watching 👍

[@garya9875]

you deserve more subs!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along man!

What side by side are you shooting ??

[@UplanderLifestyle]

A Stoeger Uplander

[@carsonf9861]

Love the videos! What are the chances of flushing some Mearns without a dog?

[@eduffy4937]

You can surely do it, prpblem is theyre so damn fast that reacting to a suprise flush and making hits is tough sleddin.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks man! You definitely could, you would have to change tactics to cover a lot of ground, a lot of zig zagging up and down canyons.

[@ronblackburn3683]

Such an outstanding piece of work, this video! I felt as if I was along for the hunt with your commentary and the view you presented. Thank you.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

@@ronblackburn3683 Ron, I appreciate that so much. Coming from someone who’s hauled dogs across the country chasing birds longer as long as you have - thanks for the comment and following along!

[@carsonf9861]

@@UplanderLifestyle ​ What make and model is your SxS? I’ve always hunted with an old Browning pump, but I’m itching to get a SxS. They look like a lot of fun!

[@dennisfournier3804]

Do the rattlesnakes present themselves at this time of the year? Also, if you were within 50 mi. of the Mexican border and considering our border crisis did you experience any unusual activities. Did you feel safe?

[@tkinsey472]

Snakes are a serious threat in Spring and Fall. $1k for anti-venom. Very costly mistake. Have your dog snake broke. You need to be aware of snakes and illegal aliens. Don't leave a valuable truck or equipment where they can be stolen. Vote for Trump in 2024, maybe he will put an end to this planned invasion to overthrow Americans voting rights and lower Americans wages......FJB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
