Each day's hunting will begin with an early arrival in the field.

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.
