BONUS: Bird hunting road trip - Montana, one of my top five states

Upland Nation

Pack the dog, extra ammo, and fasten your seatbelt. We're headed for Big Sky country on this bonus episode. Stories, suggestions and tips, starting points and advice that might help on your next road trip.

This state is loaded with public-access walk-in and government-administered ground. I'll cover my own experiences with habitat, seasons, and tactics for all the prairie birds. Plus, a few towns and regions where you might start your own quest for sharptails, ringnecks, sage grouse and Hungarian partridge. And some hard-won lessons on planning your trip from homework to itinerary.
