I'm glad I asked about this because it sounds like quite a few still hunt birds and if nothing else it's really brought back a lot of good memories for me and it sounds like we're pretty much all in agreement, pheasants, chukars, huns are some delicious eats!!

Hopefully more will continue to reply and Bone, if you have anymore pheasant pics I'd sure love to see them.  :tup:

Count me in, also. I'm primarily an upland bird hunter, and turkey. I've been hunting chukar and quail over English setters for decades. I've never seen much traffic in the upland forum here so I rarely post anymore. I'd be interested in finding another good forum for upland hunting here in Washington (other than the FB pages).

Upland is all I do anymore.  Lost a great Springer a few years ago, and am in the middle of year 3 with a new springer.  This has been a horrible year for me pheasant wise, worst I can recall.  At the same time this is the best Hun year I have had since the early 90's.  I used to love shooting chukars but my increased age, their preferred habitat, and typically hunting solo has kept me off the hills.

My wife and I both want to learn but we're also both new hunters and we feel like we definitely don't have our feet under us with the other things we started off trying to learn (deer, turkey, elk) and so adding other things to the list of "stuff we don't know about and aren't good at" seems premature. We want to learn duck hunting and upland bird but I feel like spreading my time researching and my time in the field even more thin won't result in more success, but will likely result in a lot less success across the board.

Summary: Hunting anything feels hard in WA so trying to hunt everything in WA seems like it would make that a lot harder

Not necessarily. When I’m hunting quail, pheasant, chukar in January February and I’m finding fresh elk signs that should tell me they shouldn’t be there in September. When snow melts in April and I’m looking for turkey sign and find some deer sheds tells me he should be there about December. All it does is makes you pay closer attention to multiple things instead of focusing on one task.
