Chukar Hunting | Rainy Day Chukar 

Thank you!

Stole my comment I have had the best luck shooting prairie storm 2 3/4 5’s (the 3” were no good.) I have a puffer jacket and a cheap Costco rain jacket in my pack for days like those if the wind would have picked up you’d have been headin for the truck. Good stuff brotha

Thank you, yeah it’s been a good year for birds so far. Good luck to you as well!

I will also be looking for a dog in the near future. Hoping to have one figured out before next season. But yes! Absolutely can hunt chukar and Huns without a dog

You certainly can hunt them without a dog, doesnt mean you should?

I know man, dogs make for an great hunt. I hunted with my folks dog last week and it was awesome but back to the dogless grind for now

@@in_season_outdoors if you're ever in southern Idaho and need a hunting buddy with a dog hit me up

I’ll keep that in mind, you have a instagram?

It’s a modified choke

Thanks! I have the 9, using it on 4k, 60 fps, wide angle it’s been a good little camera so far

Not Nevada, but lots of folks tell me about good bird hunting down that way. Maybe some day

Probably I’ve never had a dog point for me, but seem to find the birds alright. Will be looking for one soon though

I’ve been going back and forth on 7.5 and 6. I honestly like 7.5 more. I’ll have to do some patterning to see. The birds I’ve lost this year are more about knowing what situations you can and can’t shoot a bird, like in the opener I shot 2 over a rim where I couldn’t see them land. I won’t be doing that again.

Fair enough and appreciate that you’re testing and being conscientious about it!

@@in_season_outdoors Heres a little tip. Patterning isn't going to help 7.5s kill birds. Look up a shot ballistic chart and compare 7.5s to 6s and 5s. You'll see that at 20 yards 7.5s have already dropped velocity below that of 6s. even with a 30 FPS higher velocity at the muzzle. And 6s will have higher energy at all yardages. #5 higher than 6s. It doesnt matter to the chukar how many times you hit it, its how many times you hit with something that will kill it. And when you hit at 40 yards and dont drop it, you have enough let to kill at 60 on a second shot. We tested 7.5s 20 years ago. 4 guys. 3 day hunt. One day we all used 7.5s. 2 days either 6s or 5s. We all commented that we had far more cripples with 7.5s. We killed 96 birds in 3 days so pretty fair assessment. This was all with retrievers by the way. Looks like Winchester makes a1330FPS load with 1 1/4oz of 6s.

Nice, this good info, I’ve never looked at the ballistic charts on any of my shells before. I’d be interested to see it now, I know a lot of guys really like 6s but I have a pile of 7.5s to
