So, what does a guy who makes TV shows about bird hunting do in his free time? Goes bird hunting, of course.
I had a hall pass for the day, not enough time to head for my usual haunts. It forced me to visit some trout fishing country that was closer and pioneer some new country, ostensibly for chukars. Some bonuses: saw the truck of a training partner, avoided the frozen fog that was plaguing higher elevations and ran into another giant covey of valley quail (the topknot gods have smiled on me in recent weeks). And while the chukars hadn’t gotten the memo, it was not a total bust, as you’ll see.
For those who haven’t been on a chukar hunt, here is a typical afternoon, boiled down to a couple minutes by an executive producer (me), not an editor (like Wingshooting USA’s Tad Newberry). Tighten your bootlaces, hydrate well and enjoy!

That is some breath-taking country. I’d give my left you-know-what to hunt somewhere like that. Keep posting the great footage — gives us Midwesterners something to daydream about!
Will do, Brian. Daydream, maybe. Some might consider it a nightmare!
