The dogs and I are still enjoying the chukar mountains this Spring. Luckily for me, I have a grandson and some of his friends that invite me along while they horn hunt and I find some new country. Between my dogs and these 22 year olds I’m getting lot’s of exercise. The number of pairedContinue reading “Still having fun”

I just watched another video of chukar hunting by Eric Forrester. “Hells Freezes Over” 2024. It was the perfect depiction of what the 2023-2024 season had to offer as far as bird numbers. It was that good of a year for those who ventured off the road a ways. There is no way I’ll everContinue reading “Another great video”

Took a break and stayed closer to home on some lower country hungarian partridge. Nothing overly exciting but I like to show off the boys anyhow. This first video is the old boy, Jake, showing that he can still do it without Grady’s help. Lots of bouncing around in these video’s because if I lookContinue reading “Lower country huns”

One of the sights we all see after a snowy day is chukar tracks. How come they always seem to be going up into the deeper smow? And up above is Grady trying to locate the birds. I’ve got hours of filming the dogs running the hills and hoping to get that shot of themContinue reading “A few more”

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy my dogs and chukar hunting? Not posting for a while made me realize how much I enjoy talking about it also. I hope I will be back posting once in a while but a lot is going to depend on my ability to get on the mountain andContinue reading “Revisiting”

Like last year, once again I had an abbreviated season. 42 chukar trips. A long way from my 60 trip average per year. The year started great but slowed way down after my accident on Oct.15th. The dogs and I found ways of getting on the hill after I partially mended but it was aContinue reading “Best of 2023”

The weather turned snowy, windy and cold on us. But the dogs and I decided to try a hunt anyhow today. The wind had blown real hard yesterday and after the two hour drive we found a semi wind blown hill about a mile from the road and about 500 feet in elevation higher. WellContinue reading “A cool story”

I had to post this one to brag on my boys. The professor from Boise State who is doing research on chukars and one of her students wanted to go on a chukar hunt. She had never hunted behind dogs before. Neither Jake or Grady has ever hunted with anyone but Conner or me. AlthoughContinue reading “A special hunt.”

This is likely to be my last big post. I spent a great day on the mountain yesterday with the camera, gun and two great dogs. I was hoping to get enough action to show why I love chukar hunting so much, and because of the dogs I got the day I was hoping for.Continue reading “Chukars are hard”
