For Utah

Ptarmagin starts Aug 24th. Dove Sept 1. Grouse Sept 12th. Chukar, huns, Sage grouse, sharptail, and ducks all start the last weekend in Sept.

We then can hunt wild birds until mid Feb. Almost 6 months of hunting is about to start. :D

There is a club near me that opens 9-1. Unfortunately there is a slim chance of being able to use it until oct or nov when the temps really start dropping. WIth the high temps and thick fields my little lab heats up fast!
