Title: E.WA Quail, Chukar, Hun Opener
Post by: T-Bone on October 02, 2012, 03:15:50 PM: Anyone have any plans for the Quail, Chukar, Hun Opener this coming weekend (October 6th & 7th)? It's an easy one to skip/forget prior to the Deer and Waterfowl Openers.

Me?...I'll be out somewhere on that Sunday with the Springer. I have to work on Opening Day.

She knows it is time to chase birds, but a half hour walk just busts her up too much. Maybe a quick quail hunt late in the year but that will be about it for us :'(

Post by: tlbradford on October 03, 2012, 09:16:35 PM: I just found a huge covey of chukar. Are they called a covey? There were probably 60 in the group. This is in an area where I usually see ten a year at most. Now I am excited. Probably won't be able ot hunt until Monday though.

Post by: Forrestrover.02 on October 03, 2012, 09:51:26 PM: Saw lots of huns while muzzleloading for mulies. Didn't bag one, so I'll be out again this weekend. Hope to get back over there for the birds later.

Post by: madcow41 on October 05, 2012, 04:28:26 PM: The only birds I've gone after where ones I can flush when I walk, or grouse. What's the better bird to go after if someone has never hunted over a dog before
Title: Re: E.WA Quail, Chukar, Hun Opener
Post by: Fishnfowler on October 05, 2012, 05:32:49 PM: Huns. They offer the best chance of recovery, other than grouse that is.

Post by: madcow41 on October 05, 2012, 06:06:11 PM: what area of the state offers huns? Im assuming the west of spokane near whenatchee in the savannah land, did the fires knock that down any?
