The first two days of the Rooster Road Trip saw us traverse a variety of terrain that highlighted the vast range of upland landscapes found in Montana. The wide-sweeping views of sharptail country juxtaposed with the beauty of the Teton River Build a Wildlife Area certainly provided a mixed bag of birds, and results – but the crew now had our sights firmly set on the central part of the state’s prolific pheasant country – or at least we hoped it would be prolific – this was, after all, a hunting trip.

The second episode from Rooster Road Trip XIII recaps the groups hunt at the Teton River Wildlife Area.
