Today, while the dogs and I were hiking, we found evidence of probable avian predation. The kind of predation that might help some of our chukar species. We found this jaw bone on a rock outcropping. I assumed that this bone came from a rock chuck. If the predators stay after these critters, their stomach’sContinue reading “Different type of chuck”

Ruff
Jake’s barking and some crawling got me into the brush where Jake had tree’d his quarry.
Still having fun
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”
Another great video
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”
Lower country huns
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”
A few more
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”
Snow day
After a few days of sitting around waiting out the bad weather, we got a blue bird day to hit the mountain. Jake, Grady and I had a fun time seeing what was on the hill. We did find a few small covey’s but for the most part we found paired birds aand plenty ofContinue reading “Snow day”
Revisiting
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”
Best of 2023
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”
A cool story
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”
