Like I always say, go where the birds are and worry about everything else later.

I agree with Matt on this one

I miss Clemson all the time and Im only 45 mins down the road in Greenville. Definitely wish there were more birds around here. Wouldn't mind selling the wife on the idea of moving to Montana though.

:lol: most guys wouldn'd mind selling their wife


Go to Montana I would before you get established somewhere where the bird hunting is drying up like the southeast.

In another 10-15 years there will be zero free access and twice as many people here, its already miserable in Ga.
currently two shorthairs, four english pointers, one Brittany, one SPRINGER a chihuahua and a min pin lol

I'm not trying to convince you NOT to move to Montana...just do it after you have spent your time at Clemson! Once you move out west you're sure going to miss the 2 best things about Clemson...

1) Tailgating (GO TIGERS!)
2) Beautiful women in sundresses (Spring is on its way!) From what a friend out in WY tells me #2 is scarce out there :lol:

I lived almost 8 years in Montana and you will think you've died and gone to heaven!

Huns
Pheasants
Sharptails
Blue Grouse
Ruffed Grouse
And if you want to travel east - Sage Grouse

Plenty of public land with Block Management, BLM, Forest Service and State Lands.

You will definitely have more places to hunt than you will have time to hunt.

If I were a young man - I'd do just what you're doing!

You can always go back to SC to get a Wife!
Be wary of the man in the tattered old hunting coat with the bony pointer and the well worn side by side, he'll outshoot you every day.

Has anyone hunted the Scobey and Plentywood areas and if so which would you recommend staging out of? I am interested in early season Sharptail and Huns for the dog work. Thanks for any input.
