FH,
There are no Chuckars in the Pilots, please hunt elsewhere. Seriously, if you need some GPS points in the Pilots I can get you started. I'll get you close, you'll have to work for the rest. As gshorthair said, the best time in the pilots won't be until the snow stays up top. The birds are still high and it does make them a little difficult to get. Right now they're hanging in the high cedars and when you find them it's almost impossable to get a clean shot. Give it a few weeks and they'll be lower and much easier to find. There was a good article on the DNR news site that listed all the locations they released Chuckars a few months back. Search back in their archives and see if you can find it. Can't help with Ruffies and Blues, I don't hunt them much. I spend my time hunting Chuckars and Geese. I did see a bunch of Ruffies while I was bow hunting in the Raft Mountains.

Hey g-shorthair, I have a Draathhaar, cousin of the shorthair. He's a Chuckar huntin fool.
