Right now, all I know is that my dogs and I are flying to Portland. I won' t be hunting chukars while there -- going for mountain quail and blue and ruffed grouse only, with the chance of getting into band-tailed pigeons. Plan on leaving the 16th of September and hunting until the 22nd. Are you sure chukar is open the second week of September? I thought it didn' t open until the first of October.

Good luck out there and maybe we can meet.
