Upland Bird Hunting: Get to Know Your Prey

quail Hunting

Quails are ground-nesting, mid-sized birds of the pheasant family. When they get startled by bird dogs, they fly into the air, making them perfect hunting specimens.

pheasant hunting

With its long-plumed tail and distinctive coloring on the body and eyes, the pheasant is considered the king of game birds. Enjoy a brilliant Ozark morning hunting this magnificent bird.

Chukar hunting

A relative to quail and pheasant, this game bird originated in Europe and Asia. Today, it thrives in parts of North America. It enjoys the rock and grassy landscapes that the Ozarks provide.
