Utah

Utah offers some of the best upland bird hunting in the western United States, with diverse terrain ranging from high desert plateaus to alpine forests, providing a variety of habitats for upland species. The state's expansive public lands are ideal for hunters with dogs, whether pursuing sharp-tailed grouse, chukar, pheasant, or sage grouse. The areas around towns like Vernal, Price, and Monticello are known for their outstanding upland bird hunting opportunities. The red rock canyons and sagebrush-covered hills of the Great Basin provide the perfect backdrop for chukar hunting, while the rugged terrain around the Wasatch Front near Salt Lake City offers opportunities for sharp-tailed grouse and pheasant. The Fishlake National Forest, just south of Richfield, is another excellent destination for hunters and their dogs, with its diverse habitat supporting a mix of upland bird species.

With a blend of scenic vistas, varied landscapes, and abundant game bird populations, Utah offers a unique and rewarding experience for upland bird hunters and their loyal canine companions.
