IMG_0698.JPG IMG_0692.JPG IMG_0698.JPG Never hunted these Chucker and Huns so late in the season. The chucker sure did not play fair. Birds getting up in front of us 80 yards. Hunting was very difficult but I did managed to bring home 14 birds, mostly Huns. They are sure a beautiful birds. We had s...

California sucks for Chucker Hunting the last fours years have been terrible because of the drought. Weiser Idaho lots of Chucker.

Great State to hunt I went back there 2 years ago and could not believe my eyes. I saw so many pheasant it was just unbelievable. Going back next year to hunt with my Brother. Great hunt in the State of North Dakota. I do remember the roads and all of the birds. Had to stop the truck to let them pas...

For the last 4 years I just about gave up on hunting quail and chucker here in California. I scouted some of the areas I use to hunt. Saw several coveys of quail and one covey of chucker. Well I didn't make it on opening day but during that week I was able to take 8 quail and 1 chucker. I was very p...

Well I wish the weather was cooler but we hunt in the desert and that just how the bird hunting is out here in the West. I had the dogs out in 100 degree temperature during dove season.

He has had some down time for a bout 3 weeks. I have a place by the river bottom where there are some quail. I train him there before th...

I purchased a short hair pointer two years ago, the dog just did not work out for me. He was an excellent dog easy to train but he just did not seem to have the energy to hunt all day. I live in Bakersfield Ca and it gets very hot out here. I had a Britney and he was an excellent dog. He would go al...
