When most people think of Alaska, they think big game hunting or fishing, but Alaska upland bird hunting can be pretty awesome too!

Ptarmigan are a unique gamebird that are only able to be hunted in certain areas.
This amazing state has several species of ptarmigan, ruffed grouse, sharptail grouse, spruce grouse, and blue grouse.
