Upland Hunting Event Coverage
Was there ever a more photogenic lifestyle? No.

A note about the resources in this area.
In the course of bringing you this web site and our other materials, Upland Life's contributors often attend events - structured occasions like field trials and hunt tests, and more casual training and hunting outings - that lend themselves to photography. Special dogs, fine shotguns, unique attire and gear, upland terrain, fascinating people... the visuals are an important part of what draws us all to the upland lifestyle.

If we've produced photographs at a particular event and you've been pointed to this site for a look, you've found the right page. The event links on this page will take you to online galleries showing thumbnail images, and mid-sized versions for on-screen display. More recent galleries (since 2008) work best if your web browser supports Flash (as almost all do). The viewing will be most enjoyable on a larger display, with your web browser expanded to full-screen. Interested in ordering prints from these images? You can place an order online, right from the galleries (here are some brief tips about the ordering process).

Please note that every image you see here is owned by the photographer that created it. We are strong supporters of the photographer's copyrights, and enourage you to read our brief comments about image use, copying, purchasing, and display in other venues. We want to keep bringing you these images, and are glad you're here to look them over. Questions? Don't hesitate to contact us.
