Small Towns for the Upland Game Bird Hunter

Bridgeport, Nebraska - Bridgeport like many towns in the plains is very tiny and great for upland game hunting. It has but a few hundred houses in the entire town but several lodges nearby perfect the weekend hunting trip. Near the South Platte River and a popular waterfowl flyway the land is pleasantly fertile considering being in the large flat state of Nebraska. Although many people come to Bridgeport for the pheasants, doves and quail it is perhaps as good of place to set up a ground blind and try your luck for geese, ducks or in the spring the large turkey population.

Fleming, Colorado - Out in the eastern plaines of Colorado is the small sleepy town of Fleming. To my knowledge Fleming has but one restaurant and one gas station in the whole town; however, that is all they really need. The community is very tightly knit and a neat place to stay in with the family. The hunting areas around Fleming thrive with upland game birds and the county bags more birds than most any of the sourrounding counties. Flemming is also largely public land and actually provides miles and miles of open space in which hunters are welcome without reservations.
