In the 70's I spent a lot of time hunting coyotes there and remember always seeing chukars on the rims. I didn't hunt chukars back then like I do now but many times we'd shoot a few for dinner. I also remember hearing them all the time over there. That is an area that shouldn't get too much pressure so I can't imagine what would have happened to eliminate the birds.<br /><br />You're right about the sonic booms. I crapped my pants several times sitting in front of a sage bush calling coyotes and then suddenly "BOOM".<br /><br />Sorry I can't help you out in that area.<br /><br />Good luck on you hunts.larry szurgothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930464653423028078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-51547769720913242972016-09-18T20:16:00.828-07:002016-09-18T20:16:00.828-07:00Hey Larry...I really enjoy your posts. Say, have ...Hey Larry...I really enjoy your posts. Say, have you ever hunted down in the Jacks Creek area south of Bruneau? I was in the Duncan Creek area a couple years ago ( a tributary to Big Jacks)and after hiking around for half a day in the most perfect looking bird habitat I've ever seen, didn't see one bird. I thought I'd give it a second chance yesterday. We hiked the evening before through every kind of cover and didn't see one bird. Yesterday morning we picked another canyon close by and again, not one bird. What gives there? No fresh deer sign, no birds, no CP (chukar poop). We did notice that there were absolutely no hoppers. But plenty of water and plaentyof everything else. We probably covered 6 miles.<br /><br />I'm baffled. It almost felt sterile. Maybe hey don't like sonic booms. Lots of them over there when Mountain Home is going strong.<br /><br />Any ideas?thechukarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164424140212931266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383589609323438103.post-36980768125387259612016-09-18T05:56:38.393-07:002016-09-18T05:56:38.393-07:00The gentleman from Tennessee wishes you the best f...The gentleman from Tennessee wishes you the best fro thereat of the season.
