Upland Bird Hunting in Michigan

Michigan has a rich history in upland bird hunting. The grouse woods and fields of wild pheasants have provided excellent upland hunting opportunities for generations. While habitat loss and predation has taken a toll on many of the areas in Michigan, there are still great opportunities available. Southeast Michigan upland hunting has suffered greatly over the past 40 years. However, Charlie Linblade has managed to develop and maintain one of the best upland hunting and dog training experiences in the state, just north of Ann Arbor. Wing Shooters is far more than sorghum strips in the middle of a manicured field, it's habit is designed and maintained to be as natural, and wild, as the best habitat for wildlife, with a strong focus on upland birds.
