Your dream hunt?

[Ugo]

If you could hunt any quarry (within reason) with your bird dog and fellow best friend hunter (say you won a hunt for two anywhere in North America), what/where would it be?

Wild pheasants in the Dakotas. I love the sound of a bursting pheasant. An Orvis rated Lodge would put a smile on my wife too.

Always wanted to take the gang to Nfld for Ptarmigan.
We've sent quite a few dogs down there over the years and the local folk always rave about hunting on the barrens.
After that back to the Texas panhandle to hunt Quail.

I have hunted Ptarmigan a few times but during caribou hunts with no dogs. Actually fairly wild birds I thought, might even call them jumpy. Yeah that would be fun.

You would have a great time! We have always enjoyed our time there!

Would like to try a flooded timber hunt in Arkansas!

Don't snakes like flooded timber...

You have too much time on your hands to be fantasying about bird hunts. Now you have me as well, damn snow should just go away or I should have gone south to a plantation.
Likewise my friend as it is that time of the year when we begin to dream of our next fall adventure.
Options to my mine would be Chukars in Oregon, Ptarmigan in the Yukon , the woodcock of the Maritimes or Louisiana. The west has its allure of scenery, vast spaces with little objection as to where you can go. The north has the challenge of the elements, even just getting there. The east requires guides and property owner’s permission which can take much of the time from your hunt. Louisiana may just be right to offset the long winter by hunting in January while to folks back home are shoveling snow. Canjun food, frog legs, crawdads, and gumbo make me want to commence packing. Maybe we can swing two trips this fall!
Regardless, all trips would require me to get out with the dogs more as I am gaining too much weight! Like you, too much time on my hands.
I have seen the pheasants of the Dakotas, Huns in Saskatchewan, and the Sharps of Alberta. I have had a waterfowl hunt (or two) at these locations. Truly, I have been blessed with my opportunities for hunting adventures with great dogs and will continue to dream as long as god permits.

I'm in for the flooded timber hunt in Arkansas. I've had the opportunity to hunt waterfowl in many different venues but never flooded timber. It is high on my bucket list.
