Thread: Chukar in the CSI region

I have done a bit , and will be going this season . I get invited as the stations are through a good friend . He would cut my nuts off and feed them to his dogs even if I was to let slip where . The good bird numbers as I'm aware are on a few select stations , that cove a vast area , so a foot in is not that easy unfortunately . I'm not sure or aware if there is hunting on public lands , but doc may no ,as some of the high country lease stuff has been going back into doc hands . Poison gives them a hard time ,so don't no how they would hold in on doc land . In saying that tekapo gets a hammering from areal poisons on privite anyway . Sorry I can't help out further ,but I prefer my nuts stay where they are supposed to be. Sorry to sound negative but I tried for years to no avail . Then one day caught up with a old friend and bingo I'm in like a robbers dog ! We are still learning about them ourselves and they are not all that easy to get onto sometimes , and even when we have plenty of fire power in the dog department they can disappear into the rocks and very thin cover ? . They would rather run than fly some times , and the biggest bugger is fog ! The hills get clagged in thick with it down there for days on end , impossible to hunt ,and they say the birds will not flush at all !
