Nice. I'll be there this Sunday for 2 braces. Hope to see you there.

I know this is going to get a laugh, but I have been carrying a Mossberg 970 Pro for 95% of my hunting the last couple years. Cycles faster than anything I have ever shot and if/when it takes the eventual trip down the chukar hills, I am not overly concerned. It’s a tool. Garrison Won't get a laugh...

Anyone have any experience with the new Retay shotuns? Specifically I'm looking at the Masai Mara, 20 ga/26" barrel. I mostly hunt upland, Chukar, Grouse and Huns. I have a Benelli Montefeltro now, I originally thought the Retay was a US made gun, but it's Turkish. The Turks make some fine guns...I'...

North and south support each other as much as possible. NCN trials are much closer to Reno than coming down to so cal. There are 3 NCN members that consistently come to so cal trials.I am only 45 miles from so cal permanent grounds. Were you able to navigate the NSTRA.org site? Go to regional to fi...

Have you ever done NSTRA ? Northern Cal-nevada region is having a trial in Vinton, NV on March 19-20. Nstra is designed to replicate bird hunting and to extend your season. Pretty close to Reno. If you have never done it, you should give us a look. Lots of great guys that will make you feel right a...

I finally retired my Remington Wingmaster (reluctantly) and upgraded to a Benelli Montefeltro. Love the gun, but in hindsight I should have spent more time shouldering it before buying. I shoot horribly with it. I'll close my eyes and shoulder it and it is way off. I got the Benelli at a reduced pri...

welcome. My last chukar hunt was up near Orvada when I was 75. Had some health issues after that. Getting another spare part so I may be back at it next year. I enjoy flat land quail at 80. Brittany guy. That's fantastic. Good luck. I have 2 "spare parts" myself at 50. Good luck with your surgery a...

My pups. 5 year old Pointer (Melvin) and Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (rescue, age unknown, Phoebe). Its like hunting with a Ferrari and a Jeep. Melvin will cover 3 times the ground as Phoebe, but Phoebe is better at finding downed birds. They make a great team. So blessed to be able to work with suc...

Indeed. But, uh, what is the derivation of the board name "bugchucker?" Not that I'm being critical. Do you throw bugs around?

HAHA, that is what my friends call me as I love to flyfish. They are steelchuckers and I'm a bugchucker...

Hi Garrison. I'm in Reno, but hunt upland from Battle Mt. To Gerlach. I hunt Jarbidge for big game and did one snow cock hunt in the Rubies. Beautiful country!

Greetings fellow bird chasers. I live in Northern NV and my passion is chukar hunting. I recently had to put my GSP down and now I'm running a 5 year old English Pointer and Wirehaired Pointing Griffon (rescue). While chukar is my primary interest I also chase quail and grouse, with a few private ph...
