Nothing new as far as the chukars go except some good pictures in other blogs of some birds being taken. Makes me envious. Not looking for any condolences, just explaining why I’m not out there. Eye surgery last Wednesday, back ablation and a couple of other shots my on back this morning, and my other eye surgery next Wednesday. I might be able to get out this Sunday and Monday, if I can see, but I’m going to be on the mountain full time about the twelfth of October. I got two dogs chomping to be out there and we’ll be covering as much chukar country as possible until Jan. 31, 2027.
Meanwhile, I just wanted to brag a little on my grandson. He has become quite an outdoorsman. Conner Tomlinson.
One last thing. Conner’s mom and Barb’s and my daughter, died five and ahalf years ago. Conner took her cross from his chest and layed it on the bulls head as a remembrance. I think that’s the coolest thing ever.
Good luck hunting and be appreciative of your family for giving you the time to be out there doing what you enjoy.
Heal up! Gonna be hot the next 10 to 14 days. You’ll be ready once it cools down.
Thanks for sharing your family memories with us.
Cale, Greta and Grizz

Heckuva elk!
you’ve not missed anything , it’s been in the 80’s . Hottest driest start in 30 years . Seen all different sizes of coveys , small to the normal 20 or so
Huns so far not seeing the numbers , but not much to go on yet anyway
It’ll get better, though the fire damage is astounding and detrimental

Thanks for the information on hunting conditions. Sorry, there haven’t been a few decent days to be out there for you guys. My eyes were worse than I thought, and I haven’t even been able to walk flat terrain with the dogs. We’re all getting fat and lazy. But it’s going to be that much better when the weather finally cools. And yes, that was a heck of an elk.
