Maybe we should protect them instead of hunting them. Great blog and great story to read. Chukar must be a beautiful bird, never heard about one before, are they rare and endangered species?

My comment on hunting as a sport - I do not see anything sporty, the animal does not even have a change against hunter with a gun, let them live and look at them in the wild, but do not kill the animals.

My husband always has all the luck (or the skill) and I end up just getting some nice exercise :) This sounds very similar to how most of my hunting experiences have went haha.

Some of my best and earliest memories of upland bird hunting were chuckar hunting with my friends in Central California. While we never limited out, it was always about the friendship and solitude of the desert terrain. Oh yeah, they are very tasty too! Regards, Rick Hi Carmen!

It was a great well written read. Perhaps you didnt know, but Duncan being a retriever, will retrieve by instinct, as the name implies.

I love taking a new lab pup duck hunting with me and watch them naturally know what to do. Keeping them still is the hard part! I love bird hunting but have never tried chuckar before. I wonder if they are hard to hit like ducks are? Its always great to see the instincts come out in dogs like that.

I advise you to not go again, it might become an obsession, and I don't want you to get hurt. Alas, for me it is too late... I fell and scratched my shotgun (again), and a rock struck me right in the shoulder and it left a softball sized bruise. I did bag one Chukar, but missed all the others. I cannot describe the beauty of that arid landscape, with the river glistening silver 1500 ft below. I know I'll be back, and my GF thinks I'm crazy, but she keeps going with me... I have to admit I'm impressed with any woman who even attempts this most difficult of upland bird hunting sports. My GF says the best way to practice for Chukar hunting is to alternate between steep hiking on Mt. Hood, and shooting skeet while standing upon a basketball. Carmen,

I also have learned to love hunting and since we did not go deer hunting this year we have done one chukar hunt trip so far. We love it....me more than my husband. We have three dogs, two wiredhaired pointers and one shorthaired pointer. They are all adopted and I take pride in training my dogs for bird on our walks in the neighborhood. We live in Las Vegas but got about 1 1/2 hour from here near Elgin, Nv. Please tell us more, all of you. Denise, Ceasar, Ike, Brandy..and oh yea my hubby David I love to hear your stories.
