Alright so who takes the cake; I came to hunting later in life and largely been on the side of big game and have recently got more into upland and waterfowl. This last week I’ve run into a couple guys in the middle of nowhere Nevada chasing Chukar and I’ve gotta say they’ve been some of the...- SoCalhunt88

Spotting scopes
Binos on a tripod get you 85% of the way there. Spotter is necessary if you want to determine size, width, length etc. it’s a pivotal piece for that last 15% if you care about such things.- SoCalhunt88

Today we chased Chukar out in NV and in a low bird number area she found 2 coveys and a few others and pointed and held them without too much pressure.

Nevada Chukar Hunting 2020
Had a great day out in NV, the dog had her best day yet (she’s one) hunted all day 8.5 miles for humans 29 for the dog and she pointed 2 coveys early and then a pair and single later. Not many birds out there based what sign we saw in the fresh snow but great day.- SoCalhunt88

Nevada Chukar Hunting 2020
Finally got into some birds south of the 50 in the desert mountains. The area was vast and empty. Or so I thought, came over a ridge and ran into another guy and his wirehair. Felt like two needles finding each other in a haystack. Fun times and gonna go back out tomorrow, just getting a light...- SoCalhunt88

We had a sow and cubs around and we would hunt the other side...- SoCalhunt88

The great chukar quandary
I’m out in NV and so far not as many Chukar as advertised but it certainly looks great and there’s a lot of space so it int half bad. I’ll end the season as a spot back home I know holds birds but until then I plan to explore new areas- SoCalhunt88
