Failed Game Bird Introductions in North America
from projectupland.com On The Go Hosted by Project Upland Magazine
Hunters everywhere train and hunt over their gundogs in a manner that suits the game they pursue and the terrain in which the game is found. In North America, the way we train our dogs and hunt upland birds over them is mainly based on the behavior of native species like the bobwhite quail, ruffed grouse, and North American woodcock. Even when we hunt non-native species like pheasants, huns, and chukar, we tend to use our dogs in more or less the same way. But what if more than just a few of the many programs to introduce foreign species of gamebirds to North America had succeeded? How would we train and hunt over our dogs if, instead of pheasants, huns, and chukar, other foreign game bird species had taken hold in the US and Canada? Most upland vests solve problems by adding more pockets, straps, and bulk. At Kilo Upland, every Langhaar Strap Vest is sewn in Deerwood, Minnesota, and weighs just 1.3 pounds.
