We got 18 chuckar today. Very few young birds. It looks like they had a horrible hatch!

I just couldn't get up close enough on those chukars this weekend. Saw so many coveys, they just flushed way too far out of range.
I did manage to pick off 1 hun from covey of about 6.
That being said, my favorite new hunting load is a 20ga Federal Prairie Storm 3" #6 1-1/4oz
I nailed that bird 25yards out with a mod choke

there used to be some south of you on the permitted areas of the res. and my father used to hunt the ridge that goes from union gap east ;). I will say that it took me a couple years to find some honey holes, all about scouting. If you don't see chukar poop, you are in the wrong place.
