Chukar action

[Wally Dog]

At the top of the ridge we take a break after 1300' altitude gain. Today I'm sore and Jaeger can't move.

This fairly well describes how people have heart attacks!

The Snake River breaks.

One of 15 jakes we bumped right back near the truck.

Excellent job on the chukars. I went chukar hunting the other day but got discouraged with all the big game hunters... so I didn't hunt. I'm jealous.

Awesome pictures!
Don't know a single thing about chukars, but they look like a blast to hunt.

Nice job Wally!

I don't have any room to complain about upland game, but I do miss chukar hunting! They are a hoot to hunt.

Wallydog,

Great pictures. That just plain looks like a lot of work and I don't doubt you are both very sore. Thank you for posting!

Buschy,
I'm headed to your fair state next week for some waterfowl action. Have not hunted NoDak since I lived in Bottineau in the late 70's...............

Man that county looks tough. I wonder how my dogs would do. I think it would eat them up even though I run trials and hunt tests. Thanks for the pics.

Congrats on managing to down a few of those devils. Did birds seem as scarce as projected counts made them out to be?

Nope!! So far I have seen pretty decent numbers and haven't seen this many since 2006. I've only chukar hunted once and managed 3, but saw lots of birds. I have also seen more chukar when deer hunting than I remember over the last couple of years.

Wally congrats on a great hunt! Go to your vet and ask about Cosequin DS for your dog. That stuff is the best when it comes to sore muscles with dogs. I give this to my 9 year old lab and she is ready to play ball the next day after hunting.

Tone, plenty of birds. The numbers are much improved from last year and with a decent winter and spring it'll be very good next year.
Fowl, she just tore her pads up as usual. I didn't road her as much this year as I typically do.

Nice Wally! I haven't been out for chukar yet, but probably will this week. Gimme a holler when you get back from MT, and I promise I'll buy you a beer... or two...
