Upland hunting is common in all parts of the country. Hunters are generally found standing around in fields and prairies, near where these types of birds eat. Find out where public and private lands are, although you will probably have to pay a fee to hunt on the latter. The fall and early winter months are usually best for upland birds. Bird populations are dense, seasons are longer than waterfowl, and limits are larger.
Some states even require proof of a hunting safety course.
Shoot when the birds descend or take off. Because you're using a shotgun, don't shoot at anything beyond 40-yards.
