I realize I'm probably only asking you to speculate, but if any seasoned chukar hunters would care to offer their input I'd appreciate it.
I'm heading over to central WA for a few days to chase these little devils with my pup. Given the time of year and Temps we've been having, is there reason to be concerned?
Will be targeting the area between Wenatchee and Chelan.
I am aware that if there still active that the afternoons can be more of an issue.
Appreciate any input!

When I used to bird hunt, November 15th would be my start day for hunting the snakiest of areas around Naches. Never seen a rattlesnake out past the 2nd weekend of November.

We were in the birds Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, but only managed one. Pup was destroying herself in talus and scree, so moved on to quail in a different area and we did much better.
Any advice on treating foot wounds is welcomed! Maybe a stupid question, but any thoughts on those paw booties for hunting in this type of terain? Im really hooked on the idea of chukar hunting and found a good spot, but concerned about her seriously damaging her feet.

Thanks again everyone. No snakes and the temps never got above 50.Comes with the territory. Personally I’ve lost a dog booty every time I tried them. :twocents:

Best Dog Booties - Best Dog Boots for Dogs That Stay On These dog shoes are water-resistant, but they are not waterproof. That being said, if your pet will be outdoors in these dog boots for a long period of time, you may want to go with another option but there's really a lack of choice of dog boots for rain.
Best Dog Hiking Boots Alternative: The company also has a different version of their doggy boots – Ultra Paws Rugged Pet Boot. These are mostly aimed at runners and hikers, and considered one of the best dog hiking boots or dog running shoes (right after Ruffwear dog boots, who are currently the #1 on the market). They're more popular, but also more expensive.
PROS:
Dog boots that stay on no matter what
Perfect for senior dogs or hip conditions
Slip resistant and flexible, easy to put on
Water-resistant with Velcro straps
CONS:
Don't fit all dogs

Thanks again everyone. No snakes and the temps never got above 50.Motorcycle tube boots are cheap and they work. Look it up on Youtube, a Texas guy. I use vet wrap under them and attach with quality electrical tape. If you plan on running multiple days it's silly not to use them.
