Hey guys,

Today was opening day of chuckar season in Nevada. A friend and I went to the spot where we always go on opening day. We scouted way up north by Gerlach. Saw 1 bird in 3 days of scouting. Well, Where we always go on opening day we saw a totoal of 2 birds. Of thwe total of 14 hunters in the canyon (2 of us Included) there were only 6 birds taken. We had no winter moisture to speak of and no spring feed for the birds. I had been in that same canyon twice this year checking on the birds and the most I saw was 2 live birds. With the price of gas now my chuckar season is done for the year. I'm not going to spend the money to chase them this year but will always have a shotgun handy just in case I run into some. They are out there, but the numbers are real slim. I'm going to chase crows, coyotes and squirells. I'm sure I'll get more trigger time. Well, That is my report for northern Nevada.

Tony,
I'm sorry to hear that. I have always heard Nevada was a haven for chuckar.
