I haven't hunted everywhere, but have hunted allot of places, and was just curious as to where your favorite place to chase birds was.

 

[uplanddan]

Not sure how to vote. I guess my favorite is wherever there are hungarian partridge.

I've found all of my huns in the prairie/grassland near ag.

No selection for gently rolling wiregrass terrain

I'd consider Bermuda grass grasslands.

I can see this poll is going to be allot more difficult than I anticipated it to be. Oh well. Was worth a shot I suppose.

I've never hunted woodcock, but I can't wait to. I put "bog" as a potential choice for the doodle hunters. But lowland forest makes sense. I was thinking grouse when I put that choice in, but I suppose they do hang out in similar cover.

upland dan,
We do not actually have high mountain forests in Pa, however they are not low land either. I checked high mountain forests because our Pa forest are extremely old and about 3000 plus feet high of rugged terrain. Great Grouse & woodcock habitat.

I'd say that's lowland, but to each his own I suppose. Was thinking more where I hunt for blue and ruffed grouse 8-10k feet.

Forgive the shift...
...worst terrain w/cover to hunt(with a birddog that points):
flat-ish w/cattails, pre-freeze

ok...now I feel better.

I'd say cattails any time of the year. I refuse to wade into those blasted things!

I guess the experts call Pennsylvania forests temperate forests. I just did a brief read. Kind of interesting.

Dave, if you felt inclined, I'd like to see some more pics of the forest up in your country.

Here's a few snippets from the forest where we live.

We also have this country here:

Very nice! Where is that view?

UplandDan,
We usually do not take a lot of pictures of our Grouse hunting areas, so we do not give away their locations.

Here are some for ya. Many of the steeper mountains we hunt we do not take pictures of to keep our coverts from being known.

Looks beautiful
