So as far as telling what land is what (BLM, State, private)would gps be the easiest?

Just get an Astro for the pup and a maps card?


I start with maps and internet searching before I ever leave home. When I have boots on the ground, I confirm my location to avoid crossing a boundary. I do have an Astro with free maps that show surface ownership, but it has never made a difference, or shown me where I am. With chukar hunting, drainages are never in doubt, and the topography is so steep and open that knowing where you are isn't an issue. You can download surface ownership maps off the net for free, or buy them from the BLM. I bought the entire states of WY, ID, OR, and WA years ago in surface ownership topo maps and along with my mapping software, I pretty much know exactly where I am headed before I ever leave home. Good luck to you. FWIW, it has been my experience that chukar generally inhabit land that nobody wants for anything.
