Chukar Question

[BillyGoat]

On average, how many chukar covies do you guys get into for a solid day out in the field?

 

[T Bone]

Ah, you've been chasing the devil bird.

On an average Idaho day, I'd say 4-5.

On an average Nevada day, I'd say 5-6.

Somedays I'd break up a covey of 50-60 birds and spend the day busting smaller groups of the original group.

I sure do miss those little buggers. The wiley ringneck is a suitable substitue though.

That's about right for Oregon, too. Best day this season I found 12 coveys. Well, my dogs found them. I just followed the dogs.

Yes, the devil bird. It's a love-hate relationship, eh?

Have any of you guys ever shot a double limit of chukar and huns? Seems like the hun half is tough unless you've got some nice private land to work over.
