I have a in-laws in the Flathead Valley and was thinking about making a trip a little further east when we visit this fall to hunt some birds. If anyone has any experience in the western portion of region 4 and wouldn't mind a few questions please PM me.
Thanks for the help!

What kind of birds are you talking about? Upland or Waterfowl? :dunno:

Sorry, pheasants :)

How are the bird numbers compared to last year Bluemoon?

I am seeing more Huns then I ever have sinice I I have been coming out here. I was a little concerned about the pheasants with all the heavy rain in mid may through the first of June. But in the past week and a half the grasshoppers have come out and now finding good numbers of them but very young birds. I do think we lost a lot in the first hatch but a strong 2nd & 3rd hatch.
The Sharpies (my passion ) seem to be strong as well I have only chased them 4 days since I came over here the 1st of August but have found decent covers every time out. I am running a lot of young dogs in those areas. So who knows what I am not seeing. Looking forward to the 1st. And 2nd of Sept. To go work them over before coming back to WA. To return some dogs. Then I will head back over here on the.12th for the.season.

I have a pup this year and plan on making at least one trip to Cheateu. Just because I used to go up there and shoot pheasants without a dog when I went to college in Dillon. WMC. It's been 10 years I'm super excited thanks for getting my blood flowin.
