The Upland Almanac
|Autumn 2024
It's possible to hunt your favorite birds in a lot of different places, I suppose, but I don't do that.
I hunt sharptails mostly in one place, a big set of hills where veins of willow and buckbrush bleed off the dry, eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains.
Why here, instead of other equally fine pieces of habitat? Is it the birds themselves, or is it this place where they live? 
The inexorable draw of a quirky, timeless bird in a dry, timeless country?

Charles and His Remington: A Gentleman's Choice from America's Gun-Makers' Row - Remington Model 1884 EE Grade
A Civil War vet, let's call him Charles (pronounced with a snobbish lilt, of course), was thoroughly smitten by the parade of high-end American-made, side-by-side, hammerless “automatic” (ejector) shotguns emerging from America's esteemed “Gun-Makers Row”— New England, New York and Pennsylvania.
