  • AboutExpand

    • A Small Business of Hunting Dog Owners.

      Project Upland was born out of a simple desire to capture a love of the uplands in an artistic and meaningful way. An excuse to hunt more often wasn’t a bad side effect, either. What started as a simple, personal goal in 2014 evolved into a print magazine and a vibrant community that encompasses a diverse group of hunters and dog lovers.

      The North American Upland Hunting Survey

      First launched in 2018, this research project was created to better represent the nuances and details of upland culture in response to a lack of understanding from the larger hunting community, which tends to lump all bird hunting into a single category.
