Upland Bird + Waterfowl Combination Hunt in Montana
We think this is the most fun you can have with your pants on! Rain, snow, or sunshine we will have a great hunting option and that’s why these hunts are so productive! Our all inclusive 3 day combo hunt provides you with food, lodging and travel to/from the field. This hunt is action packed.
We provide you with coffee and doughnuts in the morning before escorting you to the field where you will be hunting ducks or geese. Your guides will have the decoy spread setup and waiting for you so all you have to do is jump in the blinds and shoot. Once your morning hunt is over we will pick you back up and take you to camp for brunch. After you change clothes and switch gear, we head out to spend the rest of the day upland hunting for Sharptail, Pheasants, and the occasional Hungarian Partridge. After an action packed day of wing shooting we head back to camp for cocktails and dinner. This is a fabulous way to experience all Montana has to offer!

Summary & Terrain
Montana’s vast private ranchlands provide some of the best sharp-tailed grouse hunting in North America. Hunters gain exclusive access to over 100,000 acres of mixed grass prairie, CRP fields, sagebrush draws, and coulees—habitats where sharp-tails thrive alongside ring-necked pheasants and the occasional Hungarian partridge. These rolling, open landscapes create classic upland opportunities, with ample bird numbers and minimal hunting pressure ensuring frequent flushes and high daily encounters.

Difficulty & Strategy
Hunts range from moderate to moderately strenuous, requiring steady walking across varied cover and working closely with well-trained pointing dogs. Most days follow a traditional spot-and-stalk upland format: guides glass or scout feeding areas, position hunters downwind, and then signal the dog to quarter until birds are located and flushed. Some outfitters also offer morning waterfowl or mixed-species combo hunts, using decoy spreads in marshes or ponds before transitioning to upland fields in the afternoon. Personalized instruction in dog handling, birdcraft, and wing-shooting makes these packages approachable for newcomers while still challenging seasoned hunters.

Amenities
Sharp-tailed grouse hunts in Montana are typically staged from remote canvas or wall tents, each heated by a wood-burning stove for reliable warmth during cool mornings and evenings. Sleeping arrangements consist of sturdy cots outfitted with sleeping pads and blankets. Camps often include a communal tent or sheltered area for gear storage, meal prep and dining, making for a straightforward, rustic setup that places hunters close to prime upland grouse habitat while providing essential shelter and comfort.

Multi-day, all-inclusive packages usually span three to five days and encompass lodging in ranch cabins or field bunkhouses, meals, guide services, and ground transportation.
