This blog is not intended to be about me, but more about my dogs and chukar hunting. This has been my passion for the last 15 years. Family and friends are #1 to me, but my dogs come in a close second. I will post pictures of the past so maybe everyone can better understand why I have become a passionate chukar hunter. I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did experiencing them. Comments are always appreciated. We all need help in becoming better dog people, hunters and trainers.
I counted up my broken stocks and forearms today and came up with 4 breaks in 6 years. Not a good record but it still beat what I had to ride home with today. Grady introduced himself to a skunk. Maybe that's why their kennel shouldn't be the back seat.
My old shorthair is a skunk lover:):) My favorite de smell recipe: bottle hydrogen peroxide, couple tablespoons baking soda, squirt of dish soap. Mix it and sud up the dog and rinse twice. Does an amazing job.
Be careful out there! Guess Grady learned a lesson. You can cut him some slack as he is making so much progress with the chukars. Been doing pheasants but got a few Huns last time out. Looking forward to the showers than will hit the hills next week. Gracie doesn’t seem to get tired.Gave her the day off but she bugs me to go hunt all day. have fun. Alan,Mays and the Setter
We have been driving across the Midwest for the last couple weeks and there are lots of dead skunks on the road. I have been expecting one of the dogs to find a live one, but none so far. It would be a problem for sure since we have the same kennel arrangements as you, but no home to go to. In eastern SD. Heading west!! PS I hope you still keep a spare Browning!
Dang, too bad you don't have a Go-Pro on your head to entertain us blog followers with those spectacular crashes. Six days in a row may be too much for this 75 yo....whew, especially trying to wear out two dogs one at a time. But my old beater Ithaca 37 is still in one piece. Good to hang out with you and Barb a bit. We left a lot of birds for seed.
Happy to hear I'm not the only one who has a crash now and then. Also, very impressed with the number of older chukar hunters still getting after it. Greg, I sure hope I can do what you are doing in my 70's. Way to go, you are a role model!!!
When someone talks about smashing the melon, I think about Burke Mantel. A couple of years back I saw a picture of his skull after a chukar hunting fall. I can't give you a number but there were a lot of stitches and a lucky hunter.
Who says you need a properly fitted gun to get birds?

Oh shoot. I'm switching to low brass shells in my O/U, And relaxing my grip. That flock must have really startled you.

I'm mixing up your potion this morning. Was a long night waking up to that smell.

After destroying my Ruger forearm last year in ID, I pack two guns on long trips.
I worry about the falls I take when I am alone, if I were to really smash my melon. Would I wake up to coyotes nibbling my ear or chukars laughing?
