(DOUBLE CLICK ON ANY PHOTO TO FILL YOUR SCREEN) Another day at the game club. Thought you might like to see the “elegant” clubhouse. Note the founding date. It is rumored among the oldtimers that Roy Rogers was a member of the original group. He lived in Victorville, CA just a few miles away from…

This Time It Was Chukar Day with Joanne Too!
(Double click the collage to enlarge) Not much to say except it was a stellar day: great weather, best gals, Joanne and Pride in tow, and some fat, sassy chukar in the bushes. This club is a blessing! Wish all our friends could join us there for a day. I know a lot of you…
>The Latter Days…Now on to the Crazies!
>The season ends in both Colorado and Kansas tomorrow…it’s like losing a best friend! Here are a few more photos from my forays to bird country. It was a good year! I’ll be dreaming for September 2010…
In Between Rainstorms in Southern California and Digby Pays Us a Visit!
Pride and I slipped up north to the game club yesterday and spent a couple of great hours with bobwhites. Last week’s adventure was drowned out with over six inches of rain and some snow thrown in too at the club. It is at 36oo feet altitude in the High Desert. The surrounding mountains rise…
>Kansas Coveys on the Course
>Here are some photos from a recent Kansas trip. Golf courses make for great bird habitat! The dogs had a great time, and we found some pretty decent coveys this late in the season. This time of year, we spend more time counting birds then shooting at them. The 2009-2010 is winding down out here…I’m…

IDAHO CHUKAR HUNTING IN JANUARY
[Author’s Note: Below is my attempt at a Where-to/How-to article for a local news paper, which was not accepted for publication. I am not a big fan of such articles, but thought this was good enough to share with some pictures from yesterday’s chukar hunt. I hope you enjoy!] For those who struggle with the…
>Just One Time For Me
>Today I awoke at O’dark-30 and headed to a new spot in search of birds…birds being Colorado scaled quail. Stars dangled above in a cloudless sky as the girls (slumbering comfortably in the car next to me) and I sped southeast from home. Today was a day afield in the uplands that dreams are made…
>Uncle Charlie Tales: Yield Not? I Can’t
>This is a short story from Jim Shaver’s blog (CLICK HERE)…Jim’s stories are great! If you want a good laugh and fun read, check out his blog! The old preacher thumped out his favorite “yield not to temptation” sermon and warned against the evils of wild women, the wily devil and white lightning, things that…
>Pointin’ Dogs & Frozen Prairie
>Howling-windswept-minus-10-degrees-Kansas-prairie is where I just returned from. You know even if it’s miserable and bird-less and you have bird dogs, you’re gonna go! I adore Kansas and the prairie life. A few of my very favorite things are meeting the locals in town and sampling the gourmet dinning…breakfast is my favorite! January birds are combat…
