Spent a few days chasing Chuckar last week and man what a tough bird to hunt. We hiked 10km plus everyday and felt like death warmed over every morning but what a game bird. We managed a limit the first day and 3 birds the next two, ran into our first rattle snake and averaged 2 coveys an hour. There were birds everywhere above us, below us, and never an easy shot, can't wait to get out after them agian!

Chas with our first three opening morning!

Nice Dog too, now wheres the pic of those BC rattle snakes???
Have seen lots of them chuckars around Goldpan, but its a Provincial Park site so no shooting allowed.

Congratulations, chuckar’s are indeed a challenging upland bird. Grouse and Pheasant are much easier. Nice dog too.

Theres an old saying

The first time you hunt chukars is for fun.....EVERY time after that is for revenge!

They are sure a blast, but you best have some good legs, some pliers to pull out cactus, and a dog thats willing to turn into hamburger for you.

We have seen this as well, they seem to like to do it around dusk to pick up gravel to digest maybe?

Shhhhhhhhh............. :)
