Awesome video Cliff! The best hunts are those lost in a sea of native wild habitat, they are the days you don't want to end. And the birds at that point are an awesome plus to it all! You captured that experience perfectly in this one, have a blessed off season Cliff!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks Tim, you are so right. Same to you - have a good summer and see you back in the field this coming Fall!

[@azquailadventures]

Nice work man!! Great dogs and Great country! Those washes in the end are killer! Glad it wasn't raining!!🤣🤣

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks a lot man! I can’t even image how much water is moving through some of them at times, crazy!

Great way to end a wonderful season. Sweet to see you hunting with your wife. I have do the same. Love the puppy learning to get out front...Thanks for sharing.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

@@UplanderLifestyle I'm looking forward to next fall. My gwp will be 10 in May. I'm in line for a gwp puppy in June. Continue to enjoy your wife my wife used to go with me until her Alzheimer's got in the way and she finally passed away in December

[@scottinohio701]

It dosent get any better than that!!!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! Maybe I will run into you in Montanna in Sept!!!! Cant wait!!!!!!!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Looking forward to it! Thanks Scott 🤙🏻

[@jesscobb2279]

I wish I could hunt as much as you do. I had a very successful goose season in 22, mildly successful pheasant hunt in ND, but would love to hunt all season long in various states across the country. Was cool to see your wife in on the hunt also. God Bless you and the family (dog's included). Can't wait for next season videos!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Appreciate that, Jess! Thanks for following along, good luck in 2023! Seems like a ways off still but will be back before we know it 🤙🏻

[@angelaguayo9908]

thanks for the videos this season much love from az

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thank you 👊🏻

[@MinnesotaSvensk]

Since I was a kid, all I have ever hunted for are ruffies and sprucies up here in northern Minnesota (as far as upland birds) & we hunt them hard. These past few videos have me wanting to explore some new territory. Thanks for the insight!

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Life's too short to just hunt birds that smack you in the face with sticks 😜 Thanks for following along!

[@strugglinoutdoors]

Same boat as you up until a few years ago. Then I started taking at least one destination trip a year. Best decision of my life. New birds, new places, and new challenges bring so much joy

[@caseycharter5731]

Love the videos. I live in Tucson, currently training an Airedale to be a flusher. She's doing well, but isn't a pointer for sure. This will likely be a terrible mearns season, but we will be doing our best.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Thanks for following along! Good luck this season!

[@w.tiefel348]

In good years those mearns will surprise you where they live! Had a season where we found half a dozen coveys in the flats where we expected gambels. It's been several years since we have seen them there. Didn't see any mearns in that area this year.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

That is cool to hear! Hope you had a great season, thanks for watching!

[@frankbier1690]

Thanks man 👍

[@garthjones7665]

What watch do you use?

[@doublegun15]

Where do you get your quail from I live In Michigan and can’t find any?

[@doublegun15]

Do you raise them

[@RockIslandguy]

What kind is the 410? Im interested in getting one and the options are very sparse.

[@UplanderLifestyle]

It is an ATI, American Tactical. Just a Turkish import.

[@wallacerose7499]

Is that a Richland Arms O /U 410?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

It is an American Tactical

[@cr_337harr7]

Where do you find ammo lol

[@UplanderLifestyle]

@@cr_337harr7 I don’t 😂 I’m just about out of 410, haven’t found any the last 2 years.

[@wallacerose7499]

About 14min you I Ding birds as hen’ s & not shooting. conservation Move ? Must be hard to do on covey rise . Where are you Hunting ?

[@UplanderLifestyle]

Just a personal choice. It is legal to shoot hens. I shot a few but was trying to limit my take. I had already shot one out of the covey before that one, so they got a free pass by me.

[@wallacerose7499]

@@UplanderLifestyle wish we could ID 🆔 grouse like that ! You should be commended for that
