Don't really know if you would classify the areas we hunt wild chukar in as mountains. More like canyons. A lot of long "barrel roll" ridges surrounded by cliffs 300' - 3000' high. Very rocky terrain tht occasionally gets scary steep. Mostly in the breaks of the Columbia, Snake and Grand Ronde rivers. We've used them to retrieve the meat from elk we have shot in various places, and they do a good job. The mountains are actually quite a bit easier to get around in than chukar country, but the river breaks are wide open, not forrested.

Good Dogwork and Good Hunting
