If you could hunt only one upland bird...

Grouse

I hope WDFW doesn't see this. We will have to choose next year.   I like hunting pheasant but I would pick quail- they just taste good.

Yeah and then the following years they will have units you apply for and build points.

Quail in the desert for me and my Britt

Well since grouse isn't an upland bird, that one is free But I would have to say pheasant. I love the cackling flush of a rooster!

[Fishnfowler]

I tried to stop at one of each, but those damn grouse kept getting up.



If I had to pick, it would be chukar.  I'll hunt them until I can't walk.

You're really speaking my language!

Quail for me!

[Lee Root]

Chukars first, then since I find Huns in with them, Huns.  Catching coveys of quail in the sage is also a riot.  The real thrill, however, is watching the dogs work.

I grew up hunting quail so they are my favorite. I just started hunting pheasant a few years ago, so they are gaining ground. In the places I hunt I can usually tag a couple of each.

Mountain Quail

Do Snipe count?  My GSP points them and they hold so nice. Shot with a 20 gauge O/U, I do enjoy that.


If that dosent count, then I'd say it is more about the dog than the particular birds. If the dog is working well and I'm shooting well, I could shoot starlings and be happy.
