I don’t know how else to describe April than to say it was weird. For the most part it was much colder than normal with a lot of moisture including snow. Than suddenly it turned into summer. Today, the 29th, the high was 87 degrees. The normal high is 68. Ten days ago the lowContinue reading “Weird April”

Once again nothing about chukars, but I have to defend myself. I got two emails from a couple of other chukar hunters and a comment from Robert wondering if I had lost my mind. Like I’ve said many of times, you can’t be too bright if you chase chukars year after year and still thinkContinue reading “Self defense”

I said I probably wouldn’t be posting much but obviously like most hunters and fishermen I fib a lot. I had an outing with my grandson and a couple of his buddies yesterday that turned out pretty exciting. The guys wanted to find some sheds so I took them to a place where I’ve seenContinue reading “Didn’t take long”

Not much what chukar hunters care about but my trial period for the spinal cord stimulator is over. It’s been in for a week and it did wonders for my back until Conner’s and my encounter with the racoon. I wasn’t supposed to do any quick twisting or jumping to loosing the leads. They movedContinue reading “Trial period is over.”

I must be feeling better. Yesterday my grandson, Conner, came up for a visit. Before he got here the dogs and I had walked down to the mailbox and Grady found a raccoon in the pussy willows. There was some barking and a lot of growling from the raccoon but I called Grady out andContinue reading “Racoon?”

Another one of those crappy days to be out and about in the mountains, so being bored I reloaded some shells for the upcoming season and looked back through some of my past chukar notes. Most of the stuff doesn’t mean squat, but might be interesting to some of the out of state chukar hunters.Continue reading “Food for thought”

All the locals are aware of the weather we have been getting this month. So, for the out of state guys, here is what we’ve got. A miserably cold March with plenty of moisture and lots of wind. Not good weather to be out in the great outdoors, but nothing that will have any affectContinue reading “Looking good so far”

It’s that time of the year with not much to pass on as far as chukars go. My rehab on the leg is going well and with the procedure on my back 9 days away I’m covering a little more country now and looking forwards to covering even more soon. The big change this weekContinue reading “Paired up”

With the weather and rehab I’m not covering the country like I’d like to but I got my gopro and took my first jaunt with it and was kind of disappointed. But I’m sure it’s got some learning to it and my brain has a hard time adjusting. First off, right now, I concentrate tooContinue reading “Bored”

Although I’ve still been getting out there in some chukar and hun country, I haven’t been getting much on film. What I have been getting is pretty shaky and the rest you’ll have to take my word for. I’ve got my go pro ordered and hopefully I’ll be getting a lot more bird flushes onContinue reading “Update”
