I once lived in North Dakota for several years when I was in my teens, and I pretty much grew up with sharptails, and quail, pheasants, and doves.
My legs sorta gave up a couple decades ago and I have not been since, but it was the best hunting I ever experianced.
We go Chukar hunting..not much killing. I won't try the steep basalt hills anymore. Fell off of one 18 months ago and still have issues.
