If anyone is up for a tag along, I am just interested in learning. I am happy to carry gear and help in anyway I can.

My shorthair pup is just about to hit 6 months and he needs to see some real dogs in action.

I know of several good spots, of course they're between here and there....

[Fyresq]

I only take people or tell people spots that won't go to them more than once or twice a year.....you have to have lots of spots to allow the coveys to reproduce. I told a person once a spot of mine and he decemated the covey in a season by coninually going back. I guess it's like fishing too.

I get some of my spots by a trapper who is out hiking spots everyday and he only tells me cause he knows I won't overhunt it.

Makes total sense to me.

Coming from FL, I used to have some serious honey holes for landbased saltwater fishing (snapper, snook, grouper etc.). Too many times myself, or friends of mine, would be generous with some info and the next time we would find the fish completely gone because of people that had overfished the spot.

I was just hoping to tag along and watch. I never had much of a chance to hunt back in FL, and I am excited about the possibility. Thats why I got the dog.

you'll have fun. Unfortunately I have labs and although I take them chukar hunting they aren't nearly as good as duck hunting so definately nothing to learn from......they don't point, but they flush and retrieve well, the flushing can get aggravating though if you don't hold 'em back

You were supposed to be deer hunting Bring the pics on though.
Btw did you shoot your deer?

So the season is just about coming to an end. How has it been? I didn't get out as much as I wanted to. I put lots of blame on the persistent cloudy weather we have had since Thanksgiving.

From my experience and from word of mouth, this season hasn't been anything special.

Opening weekend was supposedly awesome in the Granites (birds everywhere), but the next weekend (after the rains...remember the wet weather) only saw about 15 birds (and they spooked quick). I got two and buddy got three.

Been out thrice since Tanksgiving (first two saw no birds) and got to shoot at three on the last trip, but the Selenites have some of the worst Chukar coverage (21 birds per square mile).

Need to get some electronic hearing aids/protection because 12 gauges are kinda loud.

this was a disappointing year, the coveys are young birds, and were staying put in the rocks, had to be cohearsed to come out and even then they were quick to take cover,the last couple of years with very little water and fires, really put a hurt on the covies, but they will return as long as we dont hunt out the young ones, let them mature and gain in numbers, I'd say with in the next two or three years it'll be excellent hunting again...

I went out with some friends on the last weekend. 3 days, 3 hunters, 5 birds total. Not a great end to the season although Friday was a great day, good weather made the difference. I am hoping next year will be a better season.
