    January upland hunt… ID or AZ?

    Yeah I’m going to wait on the mearns until they have some good monsoons. Today was a little more tough. She bumped a covey and they bailed off into the next drainage. Still not quite sure I’m hunting the right stuff. Chukar guys - does this look right? Seems a little sparse to me. We ended up...

    January upland hunt… ID or AZ?

    Decided to do nevada last second instead and pair it with some Utah skiing. Our 1 year old dog pointed her first covey of chukar and I was able to get one before they bomb off the spine into the next drainage. I can see how chukar can be addicting now, the scenery is something else.

    January upland hunt… ID or AZ?

    Anyone have any first hand knowledge of how poor the mearns hunting is down southeast of Tucson? I’m familiar with the area from coues hunting and might start there and work north if the population isn’t good. Switch focus to gambels and scaled, but it would be cool to get on some mearns.

    Leadville, so central CO pretty much. Does Utah have good populations in comparison to those other states?

    January upland hunt… ID or AZ?

    I’ve done some coues hunting near the border and always stumble into a couple coveys so I’m at least semi familiar with that area. Wasn’t really looking to drive all the way south but if that’s what it takes, I guess we ll look into it. Do chukar hold as well as mearns?

    January upland hunt… ID or AZ?

    Question for you seasoned upland guys. Me and the girlfriend trained up our first dedicated pointing dog this year and are looking to continue the season and make a little trip in January to either of those states. We hit sodak and Colorado for pheasant and grouse already so we want to change it...

    Overnight Tuna Charters

    The party boats seem to be way cheaper out on the west coast compared to the charters on the east. More heads on the boat obviously but they seem like they do well in terms of fishing? $1300 ish for 3 days is what my research is showing.

    Overnight Tuna Charters

    Does your own gear include lures/hooks/etc? Or just rod and reel? Do you bring multiple setup (ie heavy rod for tuna, lighter rod for yellowtails)?

    Yeah I hadn’t thought too much about processing. Figured just throw fillets in a cooler and vac seal at home. Thanks for the heads up.

    Overnight Tuna Charters

    So as far as quantity of meat it seems like CA is the move. I’ll look into New Lo-An. Might try to find some dates that work for me. Thanks for the heads up! Any other charter recs would be great.

    Overnight Tuna Charters

    What’s the consensus on these? Looking to plan a trip with a couple of friends either out of CA or LA. I’m located in CO so kind of central to both. For people who have to done one or the other or both, how’d it go? What’s the best time of year? I imagine you could tie into some swordfish out in...
