Time for my annual skunking, maybe appropriate it took place at my nearest quail covert. It’s usually good for a couple coveys, sometimes even a mountain quail. Mother Nature had done her part. The prior day’s weather forecast called for showers until noon, sunshine after. In the early morning, the bunchgrass shed its frosty carapace [...]

Rivett’s Refuge Preserve near Mina, SD: When you hear ringnecks cackling from the front porch, you know it’s just going to be a great day. Founder Ron Rivett brought his high school friends (class of who-knows-when) for a hunt at the refuge and preserve bearing his name. Standing corn can drive a semi-claustrophobe like me [...]

We were there to make another episode of Wingshooting USA, chronicling both the good works of the fine folks raising money for kids, and a classic block-and-drive pheasant hunt.

You can see Canada from the deck of your safari-style tent at Sage Safaris, a brand-new hunting operation north of Havre, Montana. Between our neighbors to the north and the tents are more whitetails per square mile than I’ve ever seen, and healthy populations of sharptail grouse and ringneck pheasants.
