I had two long days of hard bird hunting last weekend. Along with Chukar I did manage to bag some valley quail, and some mountain quail. That was kind of a treat as generally we don’t get a lot of opportunities for quail on public land here in Northern Nevada. A high light of the weekend was having Cash hold point for almost 30 minutes, then shooting two birds out of that covey. I was very happy with him. He went on point almost five houndred yards above me, and it took that long to get to him through the snow and slick rocks.
It looks like we are going to get a little bit of snow this week, and that has me looking forward to seeing fresh tracks this weekend. I forgot my camera both days so I did not get any new photos. I will remember it for sure this weekend though and will have some new photos for you next week.

For now, here is a picture of Porter and Cash retrieving a double on chukar last year.
