I have heard good reports. Going on my first out of state hunt ever and want to cross the Hun off my list. My dog has never worked them. I get odd looks running a lab/border collie mix all of the time, and I am sure it will make it challenger running a flusher and not a pointer, but I am up for it.
Would anyone be willing to give me any pointers on what to try or starting off points? I have been marking many spots with grain adjacent or in the PLOTS programs. Feel free to message me if need be. Thank you all for all and any help.

Stop and listen for their calls, use a play back, and they will respond. Then you know you are on the money......

In my experience, dogs "like" the smell of huns better than any other bird. Where I usually upland bird hunt, there are usually chukars, huns, California quail, and pheasants, and the dogs will go after the huns every single time. You'll enjoy them.

Most the plots I have seen is around me is not what I would hunt them in. They seem to like stubble fields next to grass with some low brush. Low as in knee to waist high. I feel they like rolling hills more than flat ground so when they fly thy have a hill to go over. If you jump some, and they stay in a bunch they like to go over a hill before they land. If you watch close you can often see the last of them start to bank a little before they are out of sight. Are you coming up alone? What area are you thinking about hunting?

A lot of open land to explore. 93% of the state is privately owned from what I’ve read. I use OnX to check for electronically posted lands and the fish and game website has a good app as well.

Plumb thickets here to keep the raptors off of them. Like quail hunting pick a bird shoot if you wait for a better shot the group might be gone by the time you shoot.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Possibly the Center, ND area. I know someone around there. Otherwise just the PLOTS/walkin land they have in the SW part of the state.

What he said. I never found them by grain. Open range pasture land.

I have ran around a good part of ND hunting and trapping and never seen a hun in a plum thicket. I often see them between my house and town. It is pretty much all grain fields. There is more pasture to the south, rolling hills than to the north. I have no idea where they hang out in SD or KS. Just south of my house.

I have a lot of PLOTS land marked by grain or wheat stubble. Hope I can find at least one to get for the wall.

Wyoming is where I was referencing. You know, west of your house.

Would anyone in the ND area be willing to lend me some freezer space if I do bag a couple birds that I want to get mounted?
