ON THE WING PODCAST EP. 189: BIG GAME MIGRATION CORRIDORS CREATE COVEYS IN MONTANA. This is the first episode from Rooster Road Trip XIII. Head to the link in our bio to listen now. True to the Rooster Road Trip’s ethos, this year’s event takes place all on publicly-accessible lands in search of an upland mixed bag of pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse, and Hungarian partridge in Montana. To kick off this year’s trip, host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Pheasants Forever’s Director of Marketing Andrew Vavra, Montana State Coordinator Hunter VanDonsel, and the organization’s new Social Media Strategist Nate Akey for a conversation about the intersection between upland birds, pronghorns, water quality, and public access in Montana.

EPISODE 1: WHERE THE PRONGHORN AND SHARP-TAILED GROUSE PLAY, IS LIVE! Head to the link in our bio to watch the full version of Rooster Road Trip Episode 1: Where the Pronghorn and Shape-tailed Grouse Play. Over the past 13 years, the Rooster Road Trip has taken us across the country in search of incredible publicly-accessible upland landscapes. And although crew members come and go, and some of the cornerstone bird dogs have unfortunately moved on, the spirit of this annual endeavor remains true. Our goal throughout this entire series is simple, and that’s to highlight the fact that public land birds can be had by anyone who’s willing to put in the work. It may not always be easy, but it will always be worth it – that much we can guarantee. And although we’re staying true to our roots, this year comes with a twist as we expand our focus beyond just pheasant and aim to slide a variety of game birds in our vests, and what better place to search for a mixed bag than Montana? As always, a huge thank you to our wonderful sponsors @browningfirearms, @garminfishhunt, @soundgear_official, @federalpremium, @ruff_land_kennels, & @appleautosmn. #pheasantsforever #roosterroadtrip #pheasanthunting #sharptailhunting #uplandhunting #birddog #upland
