I've actually had excellent luck hunting pressured public land sharpies in heavier cover, on a plateau. The top of the plateau is a slight ridge to the west that when you crest it, goes down into open grazing and ranchland. The plateau itself is kind of dotted with chokecherries and cover for the birds to roost in, and the edges of the draws and coulees have a lot of alder and thorn cover. I find as the birds get educated they drift to the edge of the plateau, flying down when spooked and feeding back up to their roosts at night. Ive found them in pockets of cover in singles and doubles, on the shelves under the edge of the plateau, and boy are they spooky.
This is awesome. I listened to this episode today... found your podcast a few weeks ago. It would be awesome if you'd do this for quail, pheasant, sage grouse... I've learned so much from you as a new bird hunter. Thanks!
Wow! Fantastic info. Been hunting for years and was thinking about the On X app. Getting it for sure. This was really informative. Will share with all my hunting buddies.
My first time hunting sharptails in ND and this was really helpful. Perhaps it was a drought season but it was either feast or famine. The flocks were large averaging about 20 birds when we do find them. We definitely put in the mileage on foot though. With the hot temps, it was tough for the dogs.
These two videos on how to find Sharptails really helped me this week in Pierre.
Come on Tyler, get the next ones going...Lol! I can only watch this one so many times...😆

I plan on making my first trip to Montana this year for upland birds. Thanks for sharing this useful information
