I've shot them around Cache Creek (a few miles out of town towards Kamaloops) and at Walachen (sp). That was 25 years ago. There were some around Spences Bridge too as I remember getting gas and a guy shooting right up the hill behind the gas station.
Fun to shoot but watch out for rattlesnakes because the dogs don't know anything about them. Shot one right in front of the dog while he was checking the snake out.

:biggrin: Hey Chuckarman, Like yourself and Dano I spent a few years hunting in the very spots that Dano mentions. I had good German Short hair who had no difficulty pulling out cactic from his feet while on the move hunting for those runners. I found that leading a bird flying down hill took some practice . All in all a great experience one does not forget .
:D Good luck on your Chuckar Sarfarie .
