NICE Melanistic!  Good way to end the year.  Many folks will never get one

Not often you see a melanistic in the wild. Were you close to a release site or rearing facility? I know there are several folks who have had those for training over the years I am certain there are plenty that get away and would breed with the hens around. Still a great day in the field with a cool prize  :).

Great day!  I've never seen one like that.  A friend got one just the opposite of it years ago and the taxidermist called it a "California Buff".  It was very light colored to the point of having near white on it.  I took Monday off for one last hunt too and managed one chukar.  I tried the self timer twice and cut my head off both times.  Lilly wouldn't stay put for any more attempts.
