About Our Grey Partridge (Hungarian Partridge) Hunts
Intro to this species—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.
Summary
The Grey Partridge, also known as the Hungarian Partridge, a small game bird native to Eurasia, is noted for its distinctive plumage, which consists of a rufous-brown body adorned with intricate black and grey patterns, making it well-camouflaged in its grassland habitat. Characterized by its compact stature, short tail, and strikingly marked face, the Grey Partridge has a quizzical demeanor that endears it to both birdwatchers and hunters alike. In the context of hunting, this species provides an exciting challenge, as its swift, low flight patterns and evasive maneuvers require keen observation and skillful marksmanship. Pursuers often employ trained dogs to flush the birds from their hiding spots, creating dynamic hunting scenarios. Additionally, understanding their seasonal behavior and habitat preferences is crucial for successful pursuit, making the Grey Partridge a rewarding target for experienced hunters.
Hungarian Partridge hunts are usually conducted on expansive private lands during the fall upland season (roughly September through early December), often alongside pheasant, quail, chukar or sharptail grouse. Packages are guided and dog-assisted, with field‐dressing included, and many outfitters offer all-inclusive multi-day itineraries that cover lodging, meals and transportation to/from the field. Hunts feature classic flush‐and‐shoot action—whether you’re walking timber draws, cruising CRP strips, or working large “prairie” openings—and some operations even pair morning waterfowl shoots with afternoon upland bird stalking. These tailor-made experiences cater to both first-time wingshooters and seasoned sportsmen seeking high bird densities and full-service support.
Grey Partridge hunts are most often offered as day outings, with no on-site lodging or sleeping arrangements provided. On the occasional multi-day package, hunters stay in simple canvas tents furnished with cots and warmed by wood-burning stoves. Outside of those select tent camps, accommodations are minimal and there is no climate control or formal sleeping setup for day-only hunts.

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!
