Heading to Wenatchee to meet up with friends opening weekend, I hit a deer on the highway doing 65 and totaled my jeep. We got into some huns and a few quail east of Wenatchee, but didn't see any chukars. We also hunted the hills along the river, and only saw one covey, with two setters working. Tough going. I mostly hunt the John Day in central OR. (where I see 5-8 coveys a day) because I just can't seem to find any chukars here in WA. I see there are some in Yakima, and I hear the Quilomene and Chelan areas have some, but so far it's been rough going. I've hunted 4-5 days so far in WA. and have only seen one covey. Pretty sad. Anyone have any suggestions so I don't have to drive five hours to Oregon?
Oh, and I ended up getting a newer and much nicer jeep out of the deal, so it turned out well. Thank God for good insurance.
