  • Cold chukar time

    Even the leaves were cold

    Another cold day. What is it, winter or something? Sun. My first jaunt uphill in a month. Felt good. Angus pointed a big integrated covey of Huns and chukar within about ten minutes, and we had a nice walk after that.

    Hunting upland birds with friends
    The Intersection

    I usually hunt alone or with my wife (and of course Angus). It’s rare to be able to coordinate schedules with friends and deal with the travel time involved. Last weekend was a rare pleasure for me because I had a couple of friends, another great dog, and my usual companions to hunt with for two days. Most of the birds we saw both days were Hungarian partridges, but we also saw a few chukar.

    The first was a bust (bad weather, few birds located), but that’s how hunting goes sometimes. The second was much better: better weather, more birds, and some new (for me) scenery. Enjoy those days in the field with your friends. More to come on these days…
