If you’ve never hunted a day in your life, upland bird hunting may be the easiest and fastest way to get started. If you’ve never hunted nor shot a firearm you might find my article outlining how I got into hunting as an adult over here “Adult Onset Hunting: 5 Simple Steps That Worked For Me” a very useful place to get started.

Once you’ve read my article referenced above, or already hold a firearms license and a Hunter Education Card for your province, this article will act as a guide to getting started with Upland Bird Hunting. Here we’ll cover everything from gear, guns, location, targeting of bird species, and of course dogs!
