Chukar Opener?

[bowhunter3]

Don't feel too bad. I didn't harvest a chukar until my 3rd season I believe. This first year I tried, I went out a few different days, and don't think I saw a bird. The next year I put in much more effort, and research on how to hunt the little buggers. I started getting into the areas to find them, but usually watching them run up the hill ahead of me and flushing out of range. I may have shot a couple times at birds that second season. Then, on the opener of that third season I harvested my first chukar. I spent countless hours and miles to earn that bird. I think this is why I enjoy this hunt so much, you feel that you earn every bird that comes to hand. There isn't any such thing as a lazy chukar hunter in my mind, well at least not a successful one. I did talk to a few guys cruising around on ATV's yesterday, but they hadn't seen any birds[crazy]
Also, you would be welcome to join me on a future trip. I already extended that offer/invite to another member who sent me a PM. I am always looking for people to hunt the hills with. Most people I take don't end up going too many more times. I guess chukar hills are not for everyone.
