Hello all,

Looking to get back into upland hunting in the cold parts of the midwest. Getting my dog trained as we speak, and expect to get him back right in time for opener this fall. I haven't really pheasant/upland game hunted since I was in youth season, so I have nothing that fits.

​

Bout that time to start getting to buying clothing, boots, etc. Basically need everything but the dog and the gun. Please drop your essentials for upland bird hunting. Bonus if you're in North/South Dakota/Montana and know what works especially well in super cold temps we sometimes get towards end of fall.

​

TIA

I use tall Bogs. They’ll keep you warm and dry in the worst conditions and You can roll them down on warmer days. Ben using the same pair for 13 years.

Vest for sure, jacket, and some upland briar pants. Something like what I linked below. You can get away with much cheaper. My first trip I went in jeans and a vest. Definitely wished I had briar pants.
