I know what you mean. There is something about chuckars that get under a fellows skin. They are a great bird. I love the fact that they survive in such rugged and steep country that nobody wants. They are an every mans bird. Tonight we chalked up 3 more mountain quail and 4 blue grouse. My buddy and I were just talking about how the grouse population must be down this year because we havn't been seeing many. Just then a group of 8 flushed and scattered into some thick reprod and brush. We got half of them before the rest decided to get out of the county. Lots of fun. I hope I can connect on the Sage grouse this weekend. I had to take my Springer to the vet earlier today. She had some abbrasions on her eyes and several cuts on her stomach from windfalls, and blackberry bushes. I asked if I can still hunt her. He said, yes but make sure she takes it easy. I said that is one thing I am sure she won't do. She just don't know how.


Use a Big Lead to shoot them
