Cover and hoppers

Took Grady and Layne into some chukar country today. The cover is great, and little grasshoppers all over the place. Short video of Layne running through the cover on the northern slopes. The final part of the video is the north slope and Layne bugging Grady. Quite a difference between the north and south slopes.

We also saw 7 elk, 8 deer, a coyote, and one chukar on our trip. Layne didn’t see any of them. She’s just enjoying the mountain.

It’s always disappointing to find a chukar egg along the way.

The way it was broken indicates either a predator stole it from the nest or the hen just dropped it, and a predator ate it.

The last picture is of a southern slope. Just something to look at and let you decide what the season might be.

Hunting has been a favorite past time for me for 55 years but the last twenty five years I have been consumed by chukar hunting and more specifically chukar hunting with fantastic dogs. In this blog I hope to pass on any information I can about chukar hunting but more than anything I want to showcase what will probably be my last two chukar dogs, Jake and Grady. I am 70 years old, Jake is 8 and Grady is 3 and I'm hoping to stay on the chukar mountain until I am 80 when Grady will be fetching my final chukars.
