Orvis-Endorsed Wingshooting Guide Chad Hoover puts in the work to give you unforgettable upland bird hunting on the Montana prairie.
100% customer satisfaction has been our commitment since 1856. It's who we are. If you aren't happy with a product or service, we want to know about it. And we'll make it right.
THAT'S THE ORVIS WAY.
Hoover Outfitting Inc.
Hoover Outfitting operates in the far northeastern reaches of the state, with access to vast pieces of prime ground. From a bird hunter’s perspective, this is the last frontier, and it is prairie in every direction. The birds are wild, the habitat is both rich and expansive, and Chad Hoover has spent a lifetime exploring the resource to ensure some of the best bird hunting in the lower 48.
The prairie cover in northeast Montana is host to snow berries, buffalo berries, assorted terrestrials, and wheat. All of these food sources in turn provide our birds with ample nourishment and serve to keep populations robust. Hoover Outfitting concentrates on sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge. Chad and his small guide team are enthusiastic and driven outdoorsmen who know wild Montana inside and out; they are passionate hunters and passionate stewards who maintain an intimate knowledge of the local terrain and wildlife.
There is no place like the prairie to witness great dog work, and the Hoover Outfitting dog string is comprised of both pointers and flushers that are well-trained and of the finest pedigree. They are bred and selected for their ability to hunt this country, and to find birds in a sea of prairie grass. Year-round exposure to wild birds and wild places makes our dogs at home in the field. Though folks come to Hoover Outfitting in the hopes of great shooting and a heavy bag, they leave talking about the magic of great dog work.
Experience Hoover Outfitting: a rare opportunity to hunt wild birds on one of the last untouched expanses of prairie wilderness in existence today.

Hoover Outfitting hunts upland birds in September and October. Sharptails are in family coveys in September, then mature into larger, more watchful groups in late October.
Hungarian partridge are regularly found near abandoned structures in September and October. They often feed in harvested fields.
Native Sharp-tailed grouse are the most prolific species in the area. They are followed by Hungarian partridge and ring-necked pheasant. There is a small population of sage grouse but they are not common.
Northeast Montana upland areas consist of mixed-grass prairie, rolling grassland, and stubble fields. The hiking terrain is a moderate grade with occasional hills. Irrigated lowlands and river corridors contain alfalfa fields and brushy creek bottoms.
September is generally warm. It is common for days to reach mid 70s F and warmer. October is mild with many days in the mid 60s F.
