Big Game Hunting > Out Of State Hunting
Kind of sad, BUT!
Bluemoon:
It's Montana for me for upland birds.
I am a third generation Washingtonion growing up in Moses Lake in the 60's and 70's when Pheasant hunting was unbelievable. Last year was the first time ever that I never bought a WA. State hunting license. I bought them for Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. For 2012 it will be just Montana.
I did miss the Blacktail hunting in the back yard and jumping over Hwy 12. to pop some Chucker and Quail for a day trip. For me it makes more sense to drive 13 hours and hunt birds for 4 or 5 days at a time moving hundreds of birds a day then stumbling around the Basin or the Dayton area hoping nobody has been into my spots. I also got bumbed out hunting some of my favorite eyebrows of the Palouse
finding out that the Rooster I climbed up for and shot was a banded prison pen raised bird I like hunting wild birds.
I will and have bought my Razor Clam & Crab permits. I am a great freezer hunter for big game from my neighbors. But all my hunting will now done out of state.
Machias:
NICE photos....sad deal for sure.

Thanks for the candid comments.

Life is full of choices, sometimes tough ones! Good luck with your bird hunting, good looking dog.

I would love to go bird hunting in Montana someday. I even bought a book that covers upland bird hunting in Montana several years ago but never have gone.
Do you guys ever get any sharptail grouse?
