A friend called yesterday and asked if I'd be interested in chukar hunting today. I'm 56 and have bad knees so I had to think about this for a while.The doctor told me last week to take it easy on my knees for the next month so he could see if some new medication would work better than my old pills. " Taking it easy" is such a relative term. Does that mean to stay close to the truck and out of the foot deep snow on top of the lava rock? Or is 12 inch snow on a side hill o.k. and just stay out of the 2 foot stuff?? So I told my buddy I'd go! The canyon we hunted is a popular fishing and camping spot in the summer and I only frequent the lower road-less area then because of the crowds, but today I only saw one other person and he was fishing. The canyon was crowded none the less but with everything but people. Saw a dozen deer, over 50 turkeys, 5 bald eagles and hundreds of chukars. The little buggers usually got up just out of range but that didn't stop me from saluting them as they left. The chukars won today as they almost always do. Final score, Chukars-12 Bill -3!! But it was still an awesome day.
