Hi GDF,
I just wanted to share these photos of pups and Chukars. Monkey is my 2yr old GSP and Evee is my 7month old sleek GWP.
Hope you like the pictures.
Thank you
Pointer26

nice pics thanks for sharing..ruth

Awesome pics! I've never hunted Chukar, but i want to hunt them more than ANY upland species out there.

Btw is that a yildiz O/U? No matter the brand its a good looking shotgun. Beautiful GSP's aswell.


Thank you for stoking my Chukar fire this morning! (nice elk shed too)

Couldn't find the photo of the chukar with feathers but... Here a few on the grill. Good eats!

How were the legs?

Nice dogs. The one in the bright collar liiks tired!

The legs are tasty but are a little stringy. Just have to chew a little more.

Cracking looking dogs pointer26

Found the photo. This was from a hunt on a private ranch.

I'll match your pile of poop and raise you a fresh snow trail

Now I like good pics like every one else but I'm trying to figure out what makes you guys think a pile of BIRD POOP makes a good piture ???

Brandon I start sending you pics of DEER POOP!!

We get a few birds at times.

Hi GUNDOGS,
share any pictures you have of birds and pups. I really like the one of your put and the coon.

Hi JWP58,
Yes that is a yildiz 20 gauge youth model with 26 inch barrels. Let me know when you want to come and chase chukars.



Hi Escopeton,
Does your avatar name mean big shotgun. That has to be one of the best chukar pictures ever. The crock pot does wanders for the tough legs. They come up so tender and just fall of the bone.

Hi DonF,
We hunt hard and leg burn hill gets you beat up and tired.

Hi Dave C
yes I think my girls are pretty.

Hi Dirtysteve,
you are one of mine kind. It takes a special kind of hunter to climb all over leg burn hill and get excited about bird poop. Yes you do have me beat with the snow trail.

Hi Vonzeppelinkennels,
After doing all the hiking your brain gets deprive of oxygen and you get a little light headed and them you find chukar poop exciting. Not just any bird poop will do. It have to be chukar poop.

Hi Willie Hunter,
You guys must be in top shape. what kind of pups do you have.

I couldn't have said it better. Nothing like a pile of steamin fresh ones to get you excited. You know then it's only a matter of time

Hey pointer26,

Escopeton,

Do you pluck your birds and leave the skin on? How do you do that? (ie - wet pluck or dry pluck)? And is it worth it? Looks like a lot of work! Nice photos by the way!
Thanks,
Al

I pluck my birds after aging them in the fridge for about four days. After aging, the feather are easy to pluck. I do the same for pheasants, grouse and quail. Before cooking/grilling, I either brine the birds or in a wet marinade.

No problems with shot in the meat? It seems like that could be a big issue.

Willie,

I try to give the birds a good looking at before I freeze or cook. Sometimes the shot can be felt or pushed out of the meat. I do a lot of butterflying the birds and I have breasted many times.

Great pics everyone, chukar hunting out west is on my bucket list for sure... Hope to make it sooner than later.

Pointer26 that is one fine looking GSP.

Pointer26 the bitch in the top picture has gone past pretty, she is a stunner mate

And when you get dogs that look like them, which can hunt well, you have it made pal.

Here's a little chuk hunt vid: http://www.vimeo.com/34314846 - Wish admin would enable ability to embed videos on this forum - spent the last couple hours trying to hack the phpBB system to enable it...better stick to my day job as my hacking skills don't seem to be very good!

thank you DG for the pics and video.

ok, here's mine:

Those ones are easier than the ones I chase!

OK please show me the beeks of the wild ones and the beeks of the domestic ones.

Wild one!

Have not shot a domestic one in ages.

Pup is just seven months and is starting to figure them out!!
