Where-to, how-to and when-to bird hunting advice on pheasant, partridge, ruffed grouse, sharptails, prairie chickens and quail, Host Randy Shepard has bird hunted from Oregon to Wisconsin to New Mexico and Arizona. He's taken 15 different combination limits and four different double limits of upland birds across the mid-west. He's never hired a guide, leased land, hunted as a guest or engaged in a swap hunt, while in pursuit of dual limits. All self-made, self-planned hunts, on public (and a ...

Seven days hunting pheasants and sharptails in South Dakota with Maybe and Chaos. The dogs were too clownish to compliment, but with my expectations, they did just fine. We even took a couple of combo limits of grouse and pheasants. I threw in a short story about a ruffed grouse hunting mishap that I hope won't cause you to question my sanity.…

Chaos & Maybe Exploring Idaho for next trip from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Took a couple of newbies on sharp tail hunts (lots of birds!) and looked for better partridge hills than I've hunted in the past. Both dogs earned Story Bands for 1st Idaho Sharptail and 1st Daily Bag Limit of Idaho Sharptails. Spent most of this fall in South Dakota for ph…

I can't say too much good about "Critter". She hunted the tail end of the southern Minnesota/Iowa ruffed grouse years, the best Kansas and Nebraska pheasant years, and a half dozen Dakota years. This hunt was a seat of my pants exploration into northern South Dakota. I was looking for a new area for pheasants and sharptails, and we found it. The st…

Yeah, I was a whole lot younger back then, and those two pups were pretty special dogs. Critter & Woogs as pups, hunting ruffed grouse in southeast Minnesota and pheasants in southcentral Minnesota. This was the first time that I tried to take this combination limit, instead of just hoping it would happen. There were several days over those years, …

I was fortunate to have hunted Kansas and Nebraska when both states had a lot of pheasants. At that time, and for decades to come, I believed this hunt was the epitome of pheasant hunting. I only surpassed this day one time, on a hunt most of you have listened to in an earlier episode. Back in 1981, with two young dogs, Critter, a female, liver & w…

Follow along on a dogless prairie chicken hunt in Nebraska. This was early in a 5 day prairie chicken hunt in Nebraska and South Dakota. It was my first attempt at a combo of 3 chickens and a fall turkey. The previous "Double Limit of Prairie Chickens" episode, was two days after this hunt. If these two episodes don't convince you to get after prai…

More calling how-to and gear suggestions. There's some important information here mixed in with hunt stories. I could have saved a lot of money and shot a lot more coyotes if I knew this stuff 30 years ago! I have two more coyote calling episodes in the works. I'll discuss stand locations, how to read coyote behavior, when to stop calling, how to k…

I've been calling coyotes for more than 30 years from Arizona to Montana and love coyote calling only second to upland bird hunting. If you've ever thought about calling coyotes or are looking for new information, you'll want to give this a listen! This is the first of a series of coyote calling talks to fill in the dead space before upland bird se…

I can't believe I'm doing this. I got no sense! Now I'm going to find out of state plates at every one of my rooster hidey holes. Bo's turning over in her grave and Chaos is whining, "Don't do it dummy!". How I shot more than 50 roosters off the same public area in Nebraska in one season, with no competition from another hunter! Then I'll tell you …

I talk three different combination limits on this podcast, all including Wilson's Snipe. I know you're thinking "who cares about snipe!". All I can say is if you think dove shooting is fun you need to head to a marsh in October and hustle after some snipe. They'll teach you what shooting is all about! And they eat pretty good too.…

The real intent of states establishing daily bag and possession limits. Why you should explore outside the "best" areas as defined by game commissions. And if you're a non-resident pheasant hunter traveling to the Dakotas, Kansas or Nebraska, why you should be early season prairie grouse hunting.由Randy Shepard

I recount pheasant hunts from Kansas to North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. I've hunted pheasants from 1970 thru today, taking dual limits of pheasants all the way through the 2019 season. All self-made, self-planned hunts on public (and a little bit a private) land. Every dual limit hunt that I talk, is or was available to any of you without owning …

If you're not knocking on doors, you're missing out on most of the best upland bird hunting opportunities in the country. As good as public lands are, they don't compare to the acreage and underhunted habitat that you can gain access to for FREE, with just a short conversation! I'll share everything that I've learned in more than 50 years of knocki…

In addition to recounting the day I took a double limit of prairie chickens while hunting dogless in Nebraska and South Dakota, I'll share "how to" advice on hunting these birds with and without a bird dog. If I can shoot six prairie chickens in one day, while hunting virgin private and public land, without a dog, just think what my experience will…

Ride along with me and 8 mo. old Bo, on her first pheasant hunt. Nebraska public land treated us well as always! I don't know what a guy can say about taking a combination limit of 3-pheasants and 3-prairie chickens over an 8 mo. old Lab pup on her first pheasant hunt. Of course, she benefited from my 25 years experience hunting public land in the …

The next day we take a triple limit of pheasants in North Dakota, South Dakota & Minnesota and finish with a double limit of pheasants in North Dakota and South Dakota on day three! Spur of the moment, seat of my pants scouting trip, turns into …

Set aside a few minutes to listen to a couple of stories on hunting ruffed grouse and fall turkey in Iowa. One hunt I call my gunny sack day with my first dog, Pitch and another hunting dogless. You'll find a few opinions sprinkled in on the relationship of turkey and ruffed grouse and northwoods grouse hunting compared to grouse hunting south of I…
