If you could hunt only one upland bird...

What would it be? Pheasants? Grouse? Chukars? Huns? Quail? Chupacabras?
It's tough to narrow it down to only one, but for me it would be chukars, for the challenge and because they are unbeatable table fare as well. A friend of mine has a second home in central OR, and he hunts them every week. That is the life.

I love to hunt pheasants with pointers but if I had to choose it would be sharptails, nothing like getting into a big flock of them, big birds boiling out everywhere.

I hope WDFW doesn't see this. We will have to choose next year.
I like hunting pheasant but I would pick quail- they just taste good.

grouse with a pointing dog, always been my favorite always will... grouse with a flushing dog or retriever would be a close second.

If I had to choose, I would choose blue grouse, or as they're calling them now- dusky grouse. I like pheasant and chukar hunting too, but I'll take grouse over them because they're native. Plus I love hunting in the places that they call home. With a dog, or without is fine with me.

It's The Chukar
Most public land minus ducks to be had is Chukar land. And typically absent of dudes cause it's straight up and dreadful down. You wanna get "away"? Go hunt Chukar.
I was simply going to post a shot of one but I am so profoundly idiotic in posting pictures I chimed in with verbiage.
Lost my bird dog.
When I recover I'm Gettin a Setter. And Goin Chukar walking.
I mean hunting.
Everything else is to simple.

Quail for me, I never can locate pheasant and Really don't prefer going to the top of a hill for a couple shots at chukar just to turn around walk back to the bottom. Might be different this year though if my dog is ready
