The Montana Bird Dog Experience

September 14–18, 2026

Eastern Montana — Glasgow Area


The Experience

This is a 4-day guided upland hunt built specifically for clients who want to see their dogs perform in real wild bird country.

We’ll be hunting some of my favorite prairie ground in Eastern Montana for:

  • Sharp-tailed grouse

  • Sage grouse (season permitting)

This trip is designed to bring together:

  • wild bird exposure

  • dog development

  • handler improvement

  • real hunting experience

I’ll be in the field with you throughout the hunt, helping with:

  • dog handling

  • bird work

  • hunting strategy

  • reading terrain and bird behavior

The goal is simple:

You and your dog leave better than you arrived.



Montana Prep Series (Included)

Before the trip, we’ll hold:

2 Pre-Trip Training Seminars

These sessions are designed to:

  • prepare dogs for wild bird hunting

  • improve handling and control

  • work through hunt scenarios

  • break the ice before the trip

This way, when we arrive in Montana, we’re building on preparation—not starting cold.
