Great looking dogs Toad. Yes, Central and Eastern MT is pheasant country. I used to make an annual trip out to Lewistown and hunt chukkars, pheasants, quail and the lot from 1979 to 1995 but over the years more and more farmers sold leases to Hunting guide services and it's tough to find a place to hunt without knowing someone.
Sluggo did you produce that? great looking kiddo!
