On the Ground: A Deep Dive into Upland Bird Hunting

The Land Bulletin

Haley catches up with Senior VP of Mirr Ranch Group Jeff Hubbard to dive into the world of upland bird hunting. Jeff shares his deep knowledge and personal experiences from growing up hunting in Georgia to pursuing upland birds across the U.S., and how he's seen the hunting landscape change over the years.
Interested in getting in on the hunt? Haley and Jeff explore what makes a ranch ideal for upland bird hunting, including essential habitat features like food, water, and cover, as well as what it takes to sustain bird populations on private lands.

Listeners will learn the ins and outs of hunting with dogs, key upland bird species like quail, pheasants, and grouse, and the specific challenges facing the upland bird population. Jeff also discusses how to prepare for the hunt, including training dogs and understanding the seasonal rhythms of upland bird habitats. Plus, they cover some of the best upland bird hunting spots across the American West.
