...make sense to do some chukars because they area little closer to grouse and offer a smaller scent target? Of course they are cheaper too! We have not hunted them as of yet. Mark I like the idea of a mixed bag. If the snow devastates the cover, we might need to go with all Chukar. Ron

Mark/Ron, Hello. Hopewell Pheasantry, Hopewell, PA is great, he's a buddy of mine from SCI and shooting, and Ron he knows you as well, and gets a kick out of airedales and birds, and we'll get a deal. There was a great website for MidAtlantic hunting preserves, but I know there is a few near Hamburg, or near the 78/80's if that's closer Mark. Hopewell is probably 1+ hrs from Harrisburg down 83, then in the country a bit. Yeah, Apache points, alot of the time, especially chukar, which I love, i.e., for future grouse, quail, etc. Pheasants he mostly flushes, at least the roosters, some hens hold tighter. The mighty ringneck is his passion and weakness. He can't help himself, sometimes... My favorite is when I see him frozen in the sourghum field, with the cold winter wind shaking the hedgerows, and he knows he can hear that cock bird slinking away down those hedgerows. He just quivers w/intensity listening and winding the rooster trying to sneak away. We'll do a mixed bag, or whatever, chukar are absolutely delicious. We could the hit the Harp & Fiddle on the way home, or Klinger's Public House off 83, for wee pint, perhaps aft.
