Kamloops chukar

[Tuffcity]

Heading up that way either 8/9th of October or 13/14th. I'd like to get my green as grass 11 month old GSP on to some birds. Was thinking about the west end of Kamloops Lake / Savona area. Good choice or waste of time? (for the area- remains to be seen about the dog )

thanks,
RC

Chukar = devil bird. I don't know too much about bird dogs, but a green as grass pup probably isn't the best dog for the hardest upland game bird bc has to offer.

I'm going to introduce him to some ruffies in the Okanagan as well. He's got drive and a good nose so we'll see.

I was just hunting sheep there and didn't see a damn bird. Lotsa cactus in there so it'd be pretty hard on a dog.

You got to have boots on that dog or you won"t be there 2 minutes.

+1 on the boots for your pup. Check out the east end of the lake, the rocky hillside all along the railroad tracks has produced chukars for me in the past. I haven't hunted them for quite a while since my friends Brittany passed.

Also along the tracks down river of Ashcroft produced for us, but some places you will need permission.

Best of luck they are lots of fun. If you can't kick up any chukars along the lake, head up the hillside into the trees for some blues

Having lived up that way years ago I know all to well about cactus! Dog boots are going.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

I hit the Savona area 3 times a year for the "devil birds" and have a great time. Lots of cacti and I mean lots! Tough on man and dog, I talked to the Ministry Biologist there and he sent me to the Walhachin area and accross from Juniper beach lots for birds less cacti! This year i'm towing a boat and trying some new areas and camping. good luck!
