Yep, love a repeater on chukar, though have killed quite a few with a double. Also like them on Huns, especially early in the season. (Daily limit is 8 here in Montana.)

Have also appreciated repeaters on early-season sharptails--and also "mountain" grouse, as they're called in Montana, whether ruffed, blues or the subspecies of spruce called Franklin's. All can get up in rather ragged or scattered flushes, and I like having additional shots as they do.

Once killed a 4-bird limit of sharptails from one covey early in September. when Eileen was working on her upland bird cookbook (commissioned by Ducks Unlimited, oddly enough, after she did their duck and goose cookbook). We both love to eat all sorts of wild birds. Under some conditions is practical, and sometimes it isn't.
