Pheasant season starts tomorrow in SD besides grouse and prairie chicken, Hungarian partridge. Big business in SD, knee feels good might just give it a try!

Re: Quail and Chukar!
Remember growing up in S.D. and hearing pheasants in the cornfields. Sounds of autumn.

Re: Quail and Chukar!
Ditto on quail being fine table fare. My favorite wild game to eat, along with dove.

Re: Quail and Chukar!
Back home. I'm tellin' you folks, I'm getting too old for chasing chukar. I was out of breath and cuss words in about 10 minutes! Those birds simply mess with you. Got two, along with 5 quail, which were a bit easier. Those chukar, you chase 'em, they go down, go back down, those guys go up! Geez!
Had a good time tho and slept like a baby last night in camp. Course beer had nothing to do with it. Clean the shotgun tomorrow, watch game 7 of the Dodgers tonight and zzzzz!

Hey All,
I loved hunting chukars on rocky hillsides in Oregon. So fast and low flying really a challenge to hit.

Re: Quail and Chukar!
Jim, it was indeed. But, turning 70 next month, that was exhausting. Maybe 1 or 2 more upland chases in me. But, man it IS fun. I think!

Re: Quail and Chukar!
having turned 70 a few years back I do recommend enjoying your youth while you can ..
.. if I ever get another chance to bird hunt, I'll have to be a stander .... my days of walking the fields and flushing them are long gone
Re: Quail and Chukar!
Oooooooo, the memories of chasing Chukars up and down the Snake River breaks in South East Washington State. Ooooooooo, it hurts just remembering the pain. Then, there’s the rattlesnakes but that’s another story.
