Last chuckar hunt in Utah

I went out last Saturday with my 3 dogs hoping to get into one last covey of chuckar. As it turned out, we only saw one covey and they flushed out of range. But I thought I'd share some photos for your consideration.

Sadie, my 9 mo. old surveying the territory.

Zoey, my 8 mo. old wondering where to hunt next.

Typical western chuckar country - for all you grouse woods fellas

It's pretty big country too.

The end of a long day hunting - my wife snuck downstairs and took this. She says it's "cute"

This just about sums it all up...

Now it's on to field trialing and all that going into that. :roll:

It's nice to see someone else running setters on chukar. Up here it seems to be all GSP's and Britts. (not that there's anything w/ that...)
How far do you have to drive from Provo to get into that terrain? Looks to be towards Price?

We were actually west of Vernon and north of Delta, about 2 hours west of Provo in the Thomas Range. I guess I can say that since it really isn't "hot spotting" as we didn't get any birds. Altho' we saw a rather large covey flush wild.

The most amazing thing was the lack of snow. I have well over a foot in my yard so we took our snowshoes thinking we'd be in it deep wherever we ended up. As you can see, there was nothing. It's pretty fascinating how that works.

Down here it's mostly GSPs and Brits as well. There are only a small handful of other breeds that you see on a regular basis. They're nice dogs but I really can't get into their stubby little tails. :roll:

Here's another setter that runs on chukar, more than anything else so far.
