February Upland Hunting Update
Take advantage of our winter upland hunting promotions here >>
On another hunting note, I mentioned in several of my blogs that we need to pass our hunting heritage and right on to our young people. I am happy to say that I had the privilege of taking a number of parents out with their children for some really great Upland Bird Hunts over the past 4 months. You can’t believe how much all of us enjoyed these hunts. All of the young folks were very safe hunters who became very proficient at the Upland Hunting process. I think that each and every one of them enjoyed their time at the lodge with their parents to the fullest. They all said they wanted to come back and do it again. What a pleasure to see this bond building between parent and child, while many of the kids were in the early to later teen years, a lot of them were in the 25-to-35-year age group. Just imagine how many memories were being built and how many conversations over the years will allude back to those bird hunts at Heartland.
February Weather Forecast
- No bugs!! I’m assuming most of our Northern friends know a thing or two about mosquitoes, black flies and midges. Don’t worry, they do not make their appearance here until later in April and May -no snakes either!
- Comfortable hunting conditions- the guides and the dogs at the lodge enjoy hunting the colder weather during the late season. You do not have to worry about dogs overheating and the guides can wear their favorite pair of pants and jackets without overheating as well!
- Upland birds during this time frame are typically congregated around quality cover and food sources. Finding pockets of several pheasants or coveys of quail makes for an exciting hunt!
