License Requirements:
Montana non-residents require a non-resident upland game license to hunt upland game at Sage Safaris. If you do not already have the relevant Montana licenses we will be very happy to arrange them for you. Licenses can either be purchased from a Montana sporting goods dealer or from the Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks online licensing system.
Opening day for the 2010 upland season is Wednesday, September 1st.
Our upland hunts never host more than 1 group at a time. All our clients will enjoy exclusive use of vast stretches of private land and our luxury campsite for the entire length of your stay.
Sage Safaris is home to a variety of wild birds such as Sharp Tailed Grouse, Hungarian Partridge, and Pheasants. You will likely encounter all of these species during the course of your stay. Our habitat is a mixture of cropland and native plants, traversed by meandering waterways, making it ideal for upland game.
A typical day starts with a beautifully prepared breakfast in the lodge, at the time of our guest’s choice. After breakfast your guide will lead you on the morning hunt, where you will have opportunity to hunt a variety of wild birds. After several hours of walking our grounds you will return to the lodge for a 2 course leisurely lunch. After lunch your guide will lead you back into the field to hunt a different area than you already covered that morning. Guests will have the opportunity of either enjoying a full English afternoon tea in the field, "A Colonial Safaris Tradition" or sundowners a little later in the evening. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served whilst you enjoy the stunning views of the Great Plains and the seemingly unending expanse of Big Sky. After drinks it's time to head back to camp and prepare for a gourmet dinner served at the lodge. After dinner guests can sit around our fire pit and recall the highlights of the day. Every day at Sage Safaris is a magical experience!
All birds live wild on our land making our hunting challenging and unpredictable. Due to the nature of wild bird hunting, we encourage our guests to book for a minimum of three days to ensure a successful hunting experience. Guests should be prepared for long periods of walking as all hunting is done on foot. Guests are encouraged to bring their own dogs. However, we will have our own dogs at your disposal for the length of your stay. Guiding is included with all our upland packages but we also encourage our guests to be as independent as possible.
There is no limit to the number of Pheasant, Sharp Tailed Grouse and Hungarian Partridge limits are subject to state hunting regulations (4 and 8 birds per hunter per day respectively in 2009).
For the 2010 season, there is a minimum of 2 guests per booking and we are currently able to host parties of up to 4. Our capacity will be expanded in 2011 and we will be able to host a maximum of 8 guests.
The upland hunting season at Sage Safaris runs from the beginning of September to early December each year.
