Happy Thanksgiving

Barb, Jake, Grady and I would like to wish the chukar hunting community Happy Thanksgiving and an exciting finish to the chukar season this year. So far the weather has been cooperating and almost all the hunting areas around here are still accessible. There are lot's of birds out there but they are getting smarter, but a few miles and some good dog work a guy/gal can still fill the vest.

So far we're having another good year with the birds but even more important we've made some new friends. I hope to see them all again in the future and would love to share hunting camp with them. In all my dealings with chukar hunters and chukar dog lovers I have only met one guy I don't care for and that's a pretty good percentage of good guys considering that's over 40 years of chasing the bird.

Scott and his friends came over from the Badger country of Wisconsin to chase several species of Idaho upland birds and by the looks of things they did quite well. Proud to have met these guys and their dogs.

Another upland hunter from out of state brought his family over to do a little scouting this summer and then came back for some great success. I got to spend some time with Kirk Moore and his family and what a class family man he is. I understand he's a pretty good coach also. These pictures pretty much say it all.

I'd guess his son is hooked after getting a trophy like this.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and I hope to meet more of you in the years to come. Maybe we can figure out how to keep this great past time of chukar hunting available for generations to come.

Good luck and send me stories and pictures of your accomplishments this season.
