Hank and I with his first wild rooster! Nice pup. I'm taking care of my brothers while he's away for the holidays. Dog is a clown.Insisted on pestering the [bleep] out of me while I swapped the plow mount on the 4 wheeler today. Pudelpointer?? Either way a good looking dog! There's a couple of spots on the Bovine Mtns south of Grouse Creek that I'd love to get Hank to for some education with chukars. I hoping to draw both a pronghorn and a sage grouse permit for UT next year. Though flying would be easier/cheaper I'm seriously thinking of driving just so the dog can get a crack at a stinking bomber! He says its a drahthaar..I kinda questioned that a little but hey.. I have no idea if i'll be around or not, I might have to stay on the road a little longer this next year..But i can certainly give you some recent intel. If you dont get your Utah sage grouse permits, or want more shooting on them drop me a PM, I can put you in a hot area just over the border. Getting into chukars shuoldnt be too hard with your special map

I could see it being a drahthaar. If I draw I'll be in touch to see if you're around. The pronghorn and grouse permits will be for Rich Co as that's my old stomping grounds. I may take you up on the spot across the border! That special map can come in handy...

I've gotten into them in September there, but if it's warm it might get a bit dicey for the dog with the rattlers. A whole bunch of them seem to head there for winter... Though I was only there for work and in summer, but we saw quite a few chukar on the Newfoundlands. Always wanted to make a trip out there for them late in the year but never did.

Not a class shotgun like some of the above. But when it comes to Ruffed Grouse a Model 59 may be homely, but it was made for the game. Merlot made a really nice 50 yard or so retrieve on this one with a busted wing.

I recognized the gun immediately as I learned to wing shoot with a Mdl 50. You don't see either around much anymore.

A nice mixed bag. It is a lot of fun to have bob mixed in again, we haven't had many for about 10 years

I'm jealous willowcreek. Got on some bobs in Central Tx last season but can't find any this year. Hunting mostly on overgrown farms.

I spent 3 days chasing them this weekend and we had good luck and a great time. Sunday was too windy to do much good, but Friday and Saturday were good. I had some guys from north of Dallas bring a trailer full of dogs down, which was a lot of fun.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

We closed out the season with a good morning of chasing blues. Six months until September 1
