Title: Walla Walla Chukar question
Post by: Spencer on November 13, 2012, 10:07:55 AM: Will be in Walla Walla soon and was hoping to spend one day chasing Chucker (and maybe even an errant band of Huns). Anyone familiar with the area willing to point me in the right direction? I know the Richland Oregon area is great but hoping to find somewhere a bit closer to Walla Walla. Not looking for anyones personal spot, just a big area of public land on which my dog and I can go out and get lost.

A good dog would help too....

That's what I would have said. Head towards Clarkston/Lewiston. I've never seen one around here... :dunno:

Post by: Spencer on November 14, 2012, 09:35:54 AM: Thanks guys, that's officially the plan now. Maverick, So envious!!! Where were you when I was climbing around freeway overpasses and barns while flocks of pigeons were laughing their asses off at my lame attempts at catching them? Giving the big boy a rest from formal training for most of hunting season but I'll be stalking you come new years if you have some left overs!
