I got two more good days of chukar hunting in this weekend. It was the first time that I had hunted with my buddy Paul since, well, last season. Saturday we hunted a new area, for me at least, north of Gerlach. If I remember correctly I moved 6 coveys, but they were as wild as any chukar that I have ever hunted, which for me seems to becoming a trend this year. It was a good day though. I loved the terrain, the dogs got in some great work, and I managed to get some birds in the bag as well.
Sunday I hunted North East of Lovelock. The conditions looked really good, but there wasn’t a lot of birds. I think that area is still recovering from two previous years that had really low numbers. Once again it was a good time. The dogs hunted perfectly, I shot decently, and at the end of the day I had a few birds in the bag.
Overall it was a good weekend. I had two days of hunting with one of my favorite hunting partners, had a great time with the dogs, and got to see some new country. I can’t think of anywhere else that I would have rather been.
