    East or West ? A friend told me that North and South Dakota is a paradise for pheasant hunters. Montana also seems a hunters paradise.

    Central US in the state of Wisconsin. Here we have pheasant in the south, Grouse and woodcock in the north out my back door. In have hunted pheasant in the dakotas, but it gets rather pricey to travel to another state to hunt. I prefer partidge anyways. In the spring i will raise some pheasants and release them into some fields that i farm and run the dogs on them to train and keep them fresh on pheasants. In the north we get too much snow for pheasants to live. As i speak we have about 1m on the ground. The Dakotas are good and is Montana, they also have a good population of a small partidge called a Hungarian Partridge. They are more wide open and vast plains were Wisconsin is all hardwood and swamps in the north and plains in the south.

    The area of the great lakes I presume? Must be a nice place. These Hungarian partridges are the "native" partridges to Western Europe? Native in the UK, Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, ....... The redlegged partridge is a bird of the south. Southern France, Spain, .... They get scarce here to lack of open space and very bad farming. Still good populatians in Poland, Serbia, Croatia, ......
    Do you also have deer, bear, moose, elk, ..?

    Yes, I live about 30 minutes south if the Great Lake Superior. Its a very rugged and poor(economy) area, but is vast woodlands, so very peaceful. I have to travel a long ways to work. I have a small place in a metropolitan area that we stay during work and then go home to the farm to work and tend to the animals.

    Here we have Black Bear, they are the smallest of the bears, Whitetail Deer and some elk and Moose as well. Moose and deer/elk cannot live in close proximety as they deer/elf have a parasite that will kill the moose. But all are within a coupe hour drive. We can regularily hunt deer, but moose and elk are lottery hunt. We also have Turkey and water fowl as well to hunt if we choose.

    Have you ever come across "the old man of the woods" grouse. My dad told me stories of them when he lived in Germany. I talk with a gentlemn who lives in Italy and he sends me some video of him hunting the Alps on occasion. It looks beautiful. I would tend to believe like sheep," the grass is always greener on the other side".....

    I know, The grass is always greener the other side. We, in Belgium, have a super good social security system. One of the best health care systems in the world. I only have to drive about 1,5 km to go to work. On the other side, I have to drive about 1h30 to be able to fire my rifle on the range, due to living in an overcrowded area. We only have pheasant, rabbit, duck, hare and woodcock and this in small numbers. Belgium is so overcrowded, that open space is scarce and hunting is under permanent pressure.
    For hunting, shooting, keeping and training dogs, I would prefer to live in a country with loads of open spaces, an abundance of game and a law wo doesn't make it over difficult. The rest is O.K here, just like it is.
