Ron, of all the hunting videos on youtube, this has to be the finest of them all. Your love of the land and wildlife is so vividly evident and in my opinion that is what makes a hunter a hunter. Well done sir. I wish more of my fellow hunters were like you.
Great stuff Ron! Love the Nebraska Sandhills and always look forward to returning there. Late season is the best when the birds get wary and the hiking gets long.
Ron Spomer Outdoors I agree SD has better public access where the grouse are. Very much appreciate SD. My comment was due to my own frustration with the Sandhills. Although their is some public around the Sandhills, the heart of the area is almost ALL private. NO public access what so ever. The Nebraska school lands are restricted access, and there are virtually no public co operators in the area. Thank you for the response.
Interesting idea, Mark, but standing grass is essential for anchoring these fragile soils from wind erosion. NE Sandhills, especially, are plagued with sand blowouts. Once started they are hard to stop. Grass also provides shelter for grouse, other birds and wildlife to escape hawks and other predators. There are mule deer, whitetails and pronghorns in the Sandhills, too, but never enough to eat all the grass. Winter bottleneck.

Great video. You nailed it in describing why hunting sharptail is so challenging and so rewarding. Long live wild places.
Excellent video along with some beautiful country.
Ron, great video, extremely well done. Congratulations.

Ron, I know this was several years ago, but what dog breed were you hunting with? A beauty for sure.
Can't wait, only a few years left til I run back to the state of my birth.
How do those Benellis kick out a low brass and it's a high brass when it hits the ground ? Looks at 4:12 and explain that.
It's called "the magic of film editing."
Rookie question - is it possible to have much success on these hunts without a dog?
well done Congrats.
Wonderful! As the saying goes, you get sharpies with your legs.
Is that white one a munsterlander?
Public land or private?
Private, but I've done as well on public, especially in SD.
