I just returned from my annual trek to southern Idaho where I get to hunt with my brother (and best friend) Andy and visit with my family.

THE LOST PHONE
Every Fall Brother Shawn and I get together for a week to hunt upland birds in Idaho. We live for this time together with our bird dogs. Last year was a spectacular one and we found birds every day and the dogs did wonderful. I take all of my hunting and fishing photos with an iPhone. …

(Above photo of the huns and pointers was provided by my good friends Dave and Kraig Kruger while rubbing it in during their trip to Montana) Jack Hennessy contacted me a few weeks ago to get my opinion on things that we as bird dog owners can do at home to prevent injury or severe…
Renegades, Root Beers & the Avett Brothers
Andy and I just finished our 4th annual Colorado fly fishing whirl-wind tour this past week. Traditionally the Arkansas River has a CFS around 1600 where we can wade the banks and throw big ugly bugs to voracious trout…but not the past two years.

What do anglers hope to take away from a day of fishing? I think many anglers would say they want to catch a lot of big fish each time they go out, but the reality is that big fish are tougher to catch and you’re not going to catch as many. How do you think…
ICE COLD BREW
Besides tacos, nothing wraps up a fishing or hunting expedition quite like an ice cold brew. Some of you may think I’m talking about beer, but I’m a Mormon so I don’t drink alcohol.

ANDY’S NEW BLOG TENKARA WANDERINGS
I’ve decided to take on a new project. Not because I need another one-mind you-but rather because I’ve grown fond of tenkara fishing. My new blog is Tenkara Wandering and I put up the first post New Frontiers yesterday. Of course, I still plan to write regularly for Upland Ways about bird hunting and traditional western fly…

Counting Quail & Quail Dogs: A Photo Essay
This has been one of the best seasons on quail I’ve seen since the early 2000’s. Perfect weather conditions and good habitat are by far the most important factors in producing birds. I love to chase scaled quail on the short grass, high plains of Colorado…it is by far my favorite type of bird hunting….
