Experience Truly Wild Upland Bird Hunting

Upland bird hunting in Montana
The Pursuit

Broken Plains offers memorable Montana upland bird hunting across vast prairie landscapes and rolling grasslands of Central Montana. Hunters pursue truly wild pheasants, Hungarian partridge, and sharp-tailed grouse while walking behind our experienced hunting dogs through upland country.

These birds are not stocked. They are native to this rugged prairie environment, making every flush and every shot part of a genuine wild bird hunt. With expansive hunting ground, Broken Plains delivers an upland experience defined by wide-open country, hard-flying birds, and the unforgettable memories made in the field.
